ANZAC BISCUITS

Anzac biscuits are believed to be a variation of a traditional Scottish oatmeal biscuit which was sent as a delicacy from those at home to the soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) fighting in World War 1. However, the Australian War Memorial, ACT, suggests that they were not given the name of Anzac biscuits until after the war, when they were made and sold to raise funds for returned soldiers.
