Italian patriot; biscuit (9)
I believe the answer is:
garibaldi
I believe this is a double definition.
'italian patriot' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'biscuit' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for garibaldi that I've seen before include "Biscuit with currants" , "Revolutionary leader" , "Italian hero, who led his 'Thousand Redshirts' against the Austrians, d. 1882" , "Blouse; biscuit; Italian patriot" , "Currant biscuit - Italian patriot" .)
