INTRODUCTION
Anzac day is a historical day, a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand. 1916 was the year that ANZAC day was officially named ANZAC day. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand army corps.
POPPYS
Poppies are a symbol for anzac day. People in many countries wear poppies to celebrate all Australians and New Zealanders (who served and died in all wars, disagreements , and diplomat operations and the contribution and suffering of all those who have served).The Poppy as a symbol comes from Canadian John McCrae’s WWI poem. In Flanders Fields. It was used as a symbol by the Canadians for their Remembrance Day, and has been modified as a reminder of the loss of all veterans in all wars.
ANZAC BISCUITS
Anzac biscuits have long been associated with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) established in World War I.
It has been claimed that the biscuits were sent by wives and women's groups to soldiers abroad because the ingredients do not spoil easily and the biscuits kept well during naval transportation.However, this information has been contradicted with the claim that Anzac biscuits were never sent to soldiers and were instead eaten by Australians and Kiwis at home in order to raise money for the war. In general, it is unclear which of these two competing claims is true. However, evidence has been found which suggests that soldiers were sent homemade biscuits during World War I, suggesting that they could likely have been sent Anzac biscuits.The simplicity of the recipe also makes them perfect for any low-tech kitchen, or for beginner bakers. All you really need is a mixing bowl, a spoon and a baking sheet and you’re only a short wait away from warm cookie heaven. What’s more, you get to enjoy the smell of these as they bake. It’s a blend of caramelising sugar, toasting oats and coconut, and browning butter, and it is completely and utterly inviting. And while you’re at it, these biscuits lend themselves beautifully to a little experimenting – some dried tropical fruit, a dunk in chocolate, or a dash of maple syrup would be perfect.So, not only are these biscuits named in honour of a group of soldiers that helped form the national spirit of two countries, they’ve also become an unforgettable part of early life for many Australian and New Zealand bakers.

Hi Chydale,
ReplyDeleteThere sure are a lot of interesting facts about the Anzacs and why we commemorate Anzac Day.
I might try some of the ideas for adding other ingredients to the Anzac biscuits I will make tomorrow.
One suggestion I would like to make, is that maybe next time instead of copy and pasting the information from a website, that you could write the information in your own words, and use some pictures too. I am pleased you added the websites you used at the end though.
