Anzac Slice NZ

New Zealand

New Zealand's parallel claim to the Anzac tradition shared with Australia. The slice form is the NZ innovation.

New Zealand's version of the Anzac biscuit as a slice — pressed into a tin and baked as a traybake, then cut into fingers. Eaten at every New Zealand bake sale.
