There is also a commercial product called "Rusks" available in Britain - made 
primarily for babies and teething children.  "Rusks" are round "biscuits", 
about 2 or 3 inches across, about 3/4" thick and have a mild biscuity taste 
(I think they might also be available in a finger shape too).  They can be 
eaten dry, or can be softened with warm milk or water and made into a kind of 
creamy cereal.  I'm not sure if they are available in Holland and whether the 
original poster was inquiring about this commerical "Rusks" product or just 
generic rusks as Master A. mentions, but I thought I'd add this to the 
discussion.  :-)
