These are for sale in my local grocery store.

Are they good? Mabes? Buzz? Lyall? Anyone?

Absolutely!

Those biscuits should conform closely to the original recipe as consumed by Australian and New Zealand soldiers in World War I. http://www.awm.gov.au/encyclopedia/anzac/biscuit/recipe.asp

Use of the word Anzac is controlled by several Commonwealth acts and regulations with penalties for misuse or unauthorised use. This means Anzac biscuits must never be called ‘cookies’. http://www.dva.gov.au/commems_oawg/commemorations/protection_of_Anzac/Pages/acceptable%20uses.aspx

Today we can enjoy Anzac biscuits without having to climb out of a trench afterwards only to be mowed down by Turkish machine gun fire. - Lyall

Lest we forget.

I think I might make some of these tomorrow. Maybe. If I get up early enough. But I’ve got a hankering for some of these.
