I first saw this biscuit at my workplace. We sell it at 50cent per biscuit. I have never tried it for the three months I work there. Few days ago when I was shopping for some food to bring along when I go travel, I saw this budget packet of Anzac Biscuit, and I grabbed one.
First, you need to know what does 'Anzac' stands for. Anzac = Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. At this point, I am sure you know that it is related to war and soldiers. According to Internet information, Anzac biscuits were made by the wives or mothers of the soldiers during World War I and sent to them overseas. This biscuit is cheap, easy to bake, and ideal for long-distance transportation as its hard. The basic ingredients include flour, sugar, oats, and desiccated coconut. Even after 100 years of its 'establishment', it is still a popular food among the New Zealanders and Aussies.
p/s: Aside from Anzac Biscuits, there's also a national day of remembrance, called the Anzac Day, which falls on 25 April, to honour the members of Anzac who fought at the Gallipoli in Turkey during WWI.
p/p/s: Oh btw, that biscuits just taste like the coconut biscuits we have in Malaysia LAH.... =.=
