Quoting Igor PDML-StR <[email protected]>:
I also had to look up what that Anzac slice were.
As for David's comparison to a biscuit, it depends on what one calls
a biscuit. :-)
I remember that several years ago, on this list, there was a thread
with a list of various culinary items (including biscuits) that mean
different things in the US and UK (as well as for some other
countries of the Commonwealth).
A few highlights for those who missed or don't remember that:

And here is a link posted earlier about the (official, as told by
BBC!) difference between a cake and a biscuit:

Enjoy your crumbs whatever they are called in your "neck of the woods"! ;-)
(or is it "bush" in .au ?)
Thanks for reminding me of that discussion. "Quite Interesting" as
Stephen Fry would say (that Youtube clip must have been from one of
the few episodes of QI that I haven't seen - it's on daily repeats
here at present).
