Giuseppe Garibaldi (July 4,
1807 – June 2, 1882) was a general
and politician who played a large role in the history of Italy and the world.
He is considered, with Camillo Cavour,Victor Emmanuel II and Giuseppe Mazzini, as one
of Italy's "fathers of the fatherland". He had gastronomic simple
habits. There were rustic vegetable and legume soups, dried cod, salami,
cheese, dried figs on his table but he also liked pasta and pesto. Ship's
biscuits with raisins were the preferred dessert of Garibaldi and, today, the Garibaldi's biscuits, very good biscuits
with raisins are sold in the big English stores. It seems that Garibaldi
visited the town of Tynemouth in the
north-east of England receiving a warm
welcome. John Carr, a member of a
historical Scottish family created, in
Garibaldi honour, these delicious things that, marketed since 1861, by Peak
Freans company became immediately successful in all the country and in USA.
Garibaldi's biscuit are a classic of English pastry making confectionery and a
relating collection of anecdotes exists and they are quoted in numerous
sit-comedies and theatrical works.
