Anzacs for Australia Day

This will be my first Australia Day out of the country. But, like a good Aussie, I will celebrate by making Anzac biscuits. Technically Anzac biscuits are for Anzac Day, but they're still traditional Australian food and are super easy to make.

For any of my British chums who may be reading this, or for unpatriotic Aussies, I will explain the significance of Anzac biscuits. They were originally made for the Australian and New Zealand soldiers of World War I. The oaty treats were useful because they were simple, nutritious, and could keep over a long journey at sea. Also, they added variety to the soldiers' diet of gruel. ‘Anzac’ is the term used for the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who fought in 1914-18. Read more here.

Okay, so I had to look up those details, I take back what I said about non-patriotic…ness, yeah. Take that back. I just gave myself a history lesson. I hope you learned something, too. Feel free to add extra facts into the comment section.
