As a child growing up in Africa, Anzacs as a staple and I never knew their relevance for years and years, just accepted them as a sweet oat biscuit which my mom used to make. It was years later at senior school in a different country that I found out the relevance of the name - the 'home economics' teacher wrote them as ANZacs. I'd forgotten about them for a few years then stumbled across an old cook book from mumble mumble mumble years ago with a few school cookery lesson recipes in it - including the ANZacs - so I have been making them too :)

Lovely reminder.
