The Garibaldi biscuit consists of currants squashed and sandwiched between two thin oblongs of biscuit dough before baking. The biscuits are similar to Eccles cake.
Popular with British consumers as a snack for over 150 years, the Garibaldi biscuit is conventionally consumed with tea or coffee. The biscuits also exist under different names in other countries, including Australia (with the name "Full O'Fruit") and New Zealand (with the name "Fruitli Golden Fruit"). In The Netherlands, a similar biscuit, called Sultana, has been produced since 1935 by Verkade. or the Golden Fruit Raisin Biscuits, once made by Sunshine Biscuits in the US.
