[edit] Query origin of recipe

The article states ANZAC biscuits were originally invented in the trenches of WWI, on the Gallipoli front. Troops from the Australia/New Zealand Army Corps (hence ANZAC) developed the biscuits out of the meagre rations that they had. Is there a source for this info? Not even the war memorial claims this. --Golden Wattle 19:45, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

The assertion was added by an anon in December 2005 [1]--Golden Wattle 19:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

It sounds like that may be an urban myth, reading the Wikipedia page about the biscuit. Certainly, it is taken for granted in NZ and Australia that these biscuits are related to the ANZAC effort in WWI, however. I think the article could do with revising, but without losing reference to the ANZACs. Webaware ^talk 22:48, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
