It's amazing how many Italian dictators had biscuits named after them.

You've got the Garibaldi of course, you've got your Bourbon, and you've got your Peek Freens Trotsky assortment!

I have happy memories of the struggle to open the Trotsky boxes. In my house we used to have them with cocktails, so it was easiest to just pull out the bar tools and hack away.

(Oh the embarrassment. My ears are burning)

It's weird to remember Garibaldi as a dictator, as though he were similar to Mussolini or Hitler. That said, he was one, for a few months in 1860.
