"The Garibaldi biscuit was first manufactured by the Bermondsey biscuit company Peek Frean in 1861. It followed the recruitment of one of the great biscuit makers of Scotland, John Carr. It consists of currants squashed between two thin, rectangular biscuits - a currant sandwich. It has a golden brown, glazed appearance. Garibaldi biscuits are also known by the dysphemically-inclined as squashed fly biscuits, because the squashed fruit do look a bit like dead flies. When bought in supermarkets in the UK, they often come in four strips of five biscuits each. An unusual, yet increasingly popular, method of eating the Garibaldi is to put the strips of biscuits into a toaster to heat them through before serving.
Garibaldi biscuits were named after Giuseppe Garibaldi, an Italian general and leader of the fight to unify Italy, who made a popular visit to England."
Carry on.
