Ed wondered:
I have been given a picture of a kind of cracker that has the designation of "squashed fly", but do not know of anything that resembles that item in my part of the world (Florida, USA). One would think that is one is producing a food product for sale, that a bit less repulsive name could have been thought of, as when considering the reality of eating something involved squashed flies does not sound all that tempting.
Until a few years ago they were made in the US by Sunshine, later Keebler, and marketed as "Golden Fruit Biscuits". Garibaldis are available from The Vermont Country Store, should you wish to try them.
The/a recipe for bunloaf, as well as discussion on what's a seed cake can both be found somewhere in the archives. I think I've saved the bunloaf recipe somewhere here (I have not lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere!). IIRC, seed cake was more-or-less a poppy pound cake.
