Zwieback RIP

Zwieback is gone?  My Father is rolling over in his grave.

From the Al Dente blog:

For those who have been following my cheesecake saga, let me fill you in on the AWOL zwieback, the critical ingredient in the crust of a cheesecake my husband made a few weeks ago.  After multiple but fruitless searches for zwieback up and down cookie, cracker and baby food aisles in a variety of grocery and specialty stores, I contacted Kraft Foods to find out where I could purchase their zwieback toast.  I heard via email from a spokesperson there that the company no longer makes it.  Zwieback R.I.P.

Although, as I recall, my Father did try making his own some time back in the early 50s.
