| Bappir | Sumer | An historicalSumerian twice-bakedbarley bread that was primarily used in ancientMesopotamianbeer brewing. Historical research done at Anchor Brewing Co. in 1989 (documented inCharlie Papazian'sHome Brewer's Companion,ISBN 0-380-77287-6) reconstructed a bread made frommaltedbarley and barley flour withhoney and water and baked until hard enough to store for long periods of time; the finished product was probably crumbled and mixed with water, malt and eitherdates or honey and allowed toferment, producing a somewhat sweet brew. It seems to have been drunk with a straw in the manner thatyerba mate is drunk now. | |
| Biscotti | Prato, Italy | More accurately known asbiscotti di Prato (Prato biscuits), also known ascantuccini (coffee bread), are twice-baked biscuits originating in theItalian city of Prato.

| Biscuit | Abaked, commonly flour-based food product. TheMiddle French wordbescuit is derived from theLatin wordsbis (twice) andcoquere,coctus (to cook, cooked), and, hence, means "twice-cooked".[2] This is because biscuits were originally cooked in a twofold process: first baked, and then dried out in a slow oven.[3] This term was then adapted into English in the 14th century during theMiddle Ages, in theMiddle English wordbisquite, to represent a hard, twice-baked product.[4] The term is applied to two distinct products inNorth America and theCommonwealth of Nations and Europe. Pictured is an American biscuit (left) and British biscuits (right), demonstrating the difference between the American English and British English meaning of "biscuit".[3] | ||

In Mexico, there is a similar dish,capirotada.[6] | ||
