Long ago and far, far away in another galaxy...  well, not quite.  However, when I was younger parents would often give zweiback toast to teething babies and older people who no longer had many teeth because it was easy to chew.  

And Zorro, I mean @myr, when will you start using the rest of the dictionary again?  All these ZZZs are putting me to sleep. 

It will never not be weird that you guys use German words without having an own word for that 😂

Well, English has an Anglo-Saxon connection, so it shouldn't be too weird.  In fact, the British Royal family was somewhat proud of their German ancestry.  Don't forget that Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, came from that region, although it wasn't Germany yet, as did George I.  

This is the item in question, a twice-baked (real biscuit [think biscotti] -- as opposed to the baking soda biscuit pictured above)

"Zwieback make the best crusts for cheesecake!"

Zwieback (along with rye-crisp) was a non-perishable staple taken on hikes when I was a teenager - usually consumed with canned sardines.  Maybe I had too much of all of that stuff long ago, because these days I find the combinations to be... 🤮
