Biscuits

Biscuit is a term used in Oceania to describe any time of food used for eating or chewing. The deviation of this definition for biscuit from the American definition is believed to have taken place at the Treaty of Verseille, when the terms of the treaty required to supply the Ottoman Empire with food. Because the soldiers in the trenches had eaten mostly biscuits, the Ottomans stipulated that they would not take biscuits. This prompted the Australian and New Zealand governments to rename all of their food "Biscuit" so they would not be required to supply food to their dreaded Turkish foe.
