May 29 is celebrated as National Biscuit Day in the United States and the UK every year. Biscuits are versatile food whether you prepare them at home or buy them from any shop. Different types of biscuits in various shapes are found almost worldwide. Everybody loves a biscuit with their taste and demand.
Biscuit is not a modern invention and was a staple food for the ancient Egyptians and Roman soldiers on long sailing expeditions. It is mainly a dry food that lasts longer on long journeys or trips. Biscuits are commonly prepared with flour, baking powder, salt, buttermilk, milk, and sometimes sugar.
History of National Biscuit Day
Taking live food with a cook was the first solution to the need for wholesome, durable foods that could be easily transported on long journeys, especially at sea. But this would need more room, given the means of transportation at the time, which were either horses or small ships. This would ultimately result in the baking of processed cereals, offering a more dependable food source.
National Biscuit Day is a food day initiated in 1630 when Charles, King of England, was born. The ‘Merry Monarch’ tea was imported to England during his government. On December 23, 1675, he announced that May 29 would be National Day.
