No 1 could it be Mussollini?
Re: History Challenge
#1 does look a bit like Nicholas Cage.

Re: History Challenge
Garibaldi, Peach Melba and a Pavlova.
They are all named after someone, only Garibaldi was a man, the other two were women.

Re: History Challenge
The Garibaldi was the only one found in a British military ration pack, although it was called, "Biscuit, fruit AB" and more commonly known as "dead fly biscuits"!
