Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2006[FOOD] Tim Tams
Someone put a few boxes in the office kitchen today, so I've finally tasted them. They're yummy! They also posted directions for a Tim Tam Slam, but I didn't try. I needed my warm beverage a little faster than that this morning =)  Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca I've never heard of a Tim Tam Slam, but I agree that Tim Tams are delicious!

I > needed my warm beverage a little faster than that this morning =) I had to look it up: The Slam has been immortalised by Mal Webb, songwriter of Oxo Cubans fame in the song "Tim Tam Slam": Once I met a girl, she said her name was Pam She told me that I ought to try the Tim Tam Slam... ...She showed me how it's done and you can do it too Get yourself a hot drink and Tim Tam or two Then bite both ends off one and use it as a straw Then quickly gulp the lot before it ends up on the floor Hot chocolate, tea or coffee It's a choice you'll have to make 'Cos when it comes to sugar rush, this really takes the cake We were doing the Tim Tam Slam And them's pretty much the instructions for doing... the "Tim Tam Slam". The trick is to get the fully-soaked biscuit into your mouth just before it disintegrates. Hey, nobody said anything about elegance. Well, I sure wish they sold them here just so I could try one. > I had to look it up: > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Well, I sure wish they sold them here just so I could try one.

I've just discovered 4 varieties in my local Tescos grocery store! They are YUMMY!

Reading this group often makes me > hungry. They have them at Tescos here in Thailand too. But the ones they sell here are made in Malaysia and even though they look the same, they definitely don't taste the same. For some reason, Asians can't "do" chocolate. I never eat them here but in Australia we eat them all the time. We will have to stop that once we move over there or else we'll need new, bigger, wardrobes!

Well, it's hard to convey flavor or texture over the web, but maybe this will give you an idea: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Tam Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca >>What ARE "Tim Tams"????

Honestly? Not really. Not to me, anyway. Think less like a candy bar and more like a cookie, maybe.

They're more like Oreos, only better, and covered with really good chocolate, not the waxy stuff you usually get in the United States. Joy >>>Well, I sure wish they sold them here just so I could try one. >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >but I've never heard of them! (And I've been around for a >very long time.) Yes, but in the wrong place.;) They are Australian cookies, erm, biscuits. http://www.arnotts.com/Biscuits/OurBiscuitsP.asp?BID=79 Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com Make Levees, Not War >>>>Well, I sure wish they sold them here just so I could try one. >>> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > biscuits. > http://www.arnotts.com/Biscuits/OurBiscuitsP.asp?BID=79 They also make Tim Tam balls. Sorta like Maltesers, but much much better. Yowie > Someone put a few boxes in the office kitchen today, so I've finally > tasted them.

I > needed my warm beverage a little faster than that this morning =) For one that doesn't melt all over the place, try a Tim Tam Slam with a sweet liquer - I recommend Kahlua, but anythign that goes with chocolate will work just fine. Were they plain TimTams or a variety?

Mmm, that does sound good! > Were they plain TimTams or a variety? There were plain and ... cherry? I just tried the plain ones.

I just tried the plain ones. I haven't seen any cherry flavoured ones, although that doesn't mean they don't exist. The ones I know of are: Plain Double dipped (extra chocolate on the outside) Dark Chocolate Caramel Tia Maria (or Kahlua) flavoured Choc-Chilli Yowie >>> For one that doesn't melt all over the place, try a Tim Tam Slam >>> with a sweet liquer - I recommend Kahlua, but anythign that goes [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Yowie I think the cherry ones are new, we saw them for the first time in November. Tried them, liked them. I like the Tia Maria ones best and Dennis likes the Double Dipped best.

SignatureCathi, interested in the chilli concept >And what are the Choc-Chilli ones like? Oh-so-YUMMY Not really chilli-hot, just wonderful with a bit of a tang. I think chocolate and chilli are one of those magic combinations. Tish (who has only had 1 biscuit, but that was enough for an addiction) >>And what are the Choc-Chilli ones like? > > Oh-so-YUMMY > > Not really chilli-hot, just wonderful with a bit of a tang. I think > chocolate and chilli are one of those magic combinations. I think the Aztecs found that true - some Mexican dishes (like Chicken molé) combine the two (although they don't sweeten the chocolate). |
