When the Anzacs were serving during the Gallipoli Campaign they were fed mostly bully beef, Ticklers jam and hard tack. Hard tack was a type of biscuit (no, not the American type of biscuit, a "cookie" if you Americans will ...) that was so hard men sometimes used them for cigarette lighters and even wrote letters home on them. They were notorious for breaking teeth and had to be soaked for hours before eating.

Nowadays Anzac biscuits are alot softer, but still pretty much the same as back then.
