Garibaldi cookies.
The Garibaldi cookie consists of a stuffing of Corinthian raisins crushed between two thin cookies. It looks like Eccles cake. It is popular in the United Kingdom, where it has been taken as an aperitif for about 150 years, and can now be found in stores and supermarkets under various names.
They have a golden and glazed exterior, being moderately sweet. Its characteristic feature is the generous filling of raisins. History
The biscuit takes its name from Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Italian general who fought to unify Italy, and who made a popular visit to Tynemouth (England) in 1854. It was first manufactured by the biscuit company of Bermondsey Peek Freans in 1861 after hiring to one of the great biscuit confectioners in Scotland, John Carr.
