Well done, chaps, you're almost there.
No. 2 is Castro, no. 3 is Duvalier.
All are dictators, but not necessarily from the same part of the worl.
No. 1 is the most unlikely looking photo.

#1 does look a bit like Nicholas Cage. :shock: :mrgreen: ....seriously, I'm feeling something from Russia or the Balkans. I can't tell what kind of rifle he's holding....if a rifle at all, the photo is too small for me. Pete :cheers:

Garibaldi, Peach Melba and a Pavlova.

They are all named after someone, only Garibaldi was a man, the other two were women.

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"!

well done all round.

Peach Melba, Garebaldi biscuit and a Pavlova

Also good answers on the odd one out.....I was thinking of only one of em is named after a revolutionary wheras the other two are named after performers.
