What is a "garibaldi (shirt)"?

A garibaldi shirt is a type of shirt that was popularized during the mid-19th century. It is characterized by its loose fit, wide sleeves, and the absence of a collar. The shirt is typically made of wool and comes in a range of colors, but is most commonly associated with the color red. The garibaldi shirt takes its name from Giuseppe Garibaldi, an Italian general and national hero who helped unify Italy. Garibaldi was known for wearing a similar type of shirt during his military campaigns, and the garment became popular in Europe and the United States as a result. Today, the garibaldi shirt is primarily worn as a historical costume or as a fashion statement in certain subcultures.

What is a "Garibaldi (biscuit)"?

Garibaldi is a type of flat, dry biscuit that originated in the United Kingdom in the 19th century. It is made by sandwiching currants, raisins, or other dried fruits between two layers of dough and baking them until crispy. The biscuits are often rectangular in shape and have a slightly sweet taste due to the addition of sugar in the dough. Garibaldi biscuits are often enjoyed as a snack or with a cup of tea or coffee. They are also sometimes used as a base for desserts or as a topping for ice cream. The name of the biscuit is said to have been inspired by the Italian general Giuseppe Garibaldi, who visited England in the 1850s and was a popular figure at the time.
