Thread: TIM TAMS "rejoice at the news."

They came out a couple of weeks ago where we are, under the Pepperidge Farm brand in regular chocolate and caramel. Am back in Tassie for a couple of days and brought the family some as a joke (long standing tradition of being sent back to the states with a suitcase full of them).

Haven't tried the port way but we always do it with tea/coffee/Milo; even more important to keep them in the fridge then.

Now, if we could just get hold of Arnott's kingstons...

Or Mint Slice......mmmmm...mint slice....

And, to Jim, of course Aussies drink lacquer! It is a well-known method for lining your stomach before a night out on the town! (NOTE: Joke! DO NOT drink lacquer).

I must say that I am disappointed Tim Tams are now available in the US. First Vegemite, now Tim Tams - what little treats are left to me to send to my US friends?? Chocolate-dipped Drop Bear testes are hard to obtain, but now I feel that is all that is left to me....

As a fellow Aussie I'm sure you would be aware that it is highly illegal to sell Drop Bears, or parts of Drop Bears to Americans. However, chocolate coated Koala or kangaroo testes should be ok.

I thought those testes were naturally chocolate-y... and salty too... and teste-y
My village doesn't yet have them, nor does it have the bear drops, or the koala nipples, so i'm going to keep the score on who's lazier, a declining store chain, or a bald gentle ausie

Others may disagree with me but in my oppinion the best way to eat a Tim Tam is first, remove it from the fridge. Then the next step is to bite off opposing corners of the Tim Tam. Then, the most important step is to use the Tim Tam as a straw to suck up a biscut full of good port, or other sweet laquer. Lastly, before the Tim Tam falls apart shove the whole thing in your mouth and wash it all down with the remainer of the laquer.

Wow! This sounds like something I'd do when stoned and having the "munchies"

Munchies? What are munchies?
