Instagram foodie Russ Eats took to Instagram to explain why Subway ever stopped selling the classic biscuit.
“So back in 2008, Subway made a request, and that’s what you’ve gotta do to sell an Anzac biscuit you’ve gotta make a request, and it was denied to alter the recipe to make it more affordable because it didn’t follow the old fashioned proper recipes,” he said.
“Then Subway basically said ‘well f**k it we can’t make it cheap so we’re taking it off the menu’ and here we are today.”
Now, 17 years later, Subway has re-released the Anzac Biscuit for a very good cause.
Greg Melick is RSL’s National President, and he says this support will be important in the lead up and around Anzac Day this year.
“It is assistance like this from Subway that helps us ensure veterans receive the best possible support and services,” Mr Melick said.
“We’ve been supporting our veterans since 1916, and initiatives like this allow us to continue to evolve our programs to meet the needs of each generation of service men and women.”
Russ Eats did us the due diligence of reviewing the new Anzac biscuits.
He explained that, “you can tell it’s a Subway cookie but it has characteristics of a proper home-cooked Anzac biscuit”.
“Overall its pretty f**king good, I am gonna give it a 7.5/10 because nothing will ever compete with a home cooked Anzac biscuit but it’s a pretty fun little f**king Subway Anzac hybrid.”
The Subway Anzac Biscuit is available from now through to 4 May, 2025.
