the Heresy and other candies manufactures wholesale convention In Orlando.

news MMMmmmmm. Right now I have four pairs of pitiful little eyes
watching
me,
and have discovered that Congo (biggest, fattest, and most
masculine
kitten)
has an extremely pitiful, small, weak, kittenish mew. He is also
very
good
at looking starved; probably why he is so hefty. For those of you
unfortunate enough not to know, a Tim Tam is a delicious, chocolate
covered
and filled biscuit, deadly in it's addictiveness, that is to
Australia
what
the Oreo is to America. And the ice cream is worse. They will be
allowed
to
lick the plate.

You forgot to mention that Tim Tams are at least ten times as good
as
Oreos
ever thought of being.

Joy (confirmed Aussiephile and Tim Tam lover)


well, that's a given! I just didn't want to offend the americans!!
they
are
very attached to their oreos, and most of the poor dears probably
never
have
seen a tim tam, let alone tasted one. Besides, it would be cruel to
mention
it when they can't have any...

That's true, although there is a place in Texas where you can order
them.
They are quite expensive, but worth it occasionally. ;-)

Joy


Man, you're not serious!!! Well, you can get everything in the US....for
a
price I guess! What do they do, fly to australia and buy them??

This outfit specializes in Australian things. They have Ugg boots, all
sorts of Cadbury goodies, and a wide variety of other things. I
discovered
the Tim Tams by accident. I imagine they have the items shipped here from
Oz.

Anyone care to 'import' some of those Tim Tams for us
culture-lacking Americans?

Actually, you can order them.

Here's a site I found online:

Someone brought some to my office a few months ago. Very yummy.

I think that's the place I was talking about. They're in San Antonio,
Texas.

Speaking for myself, here is one American who is not offended or
otherwise aggrieved! Please continue telling us about the delights
of other places -- I find it fascinating and a lot of fun to know
that kind of thing. Besides, if I ever get to Australia again I'll
have something new to look forward to! Same for everyone one in
places other than Australia!
Sandy

Ditto that sentiment!

I might add that I, for one, am not so fond of Oreos - except the cream
filling. The chocolate cookie is too dark and phony tasting for my
like!
I prefer the 'plain ol' vanilla cream sandwich cookies.

I really don't know why Arnotts haven't yet! Whoever invented it should be
canonized!! (or boiled in oil, depending if you're on a diet or not....)
It's said that some people only come back to Australia for the Tim
Tams.....

I can believe it! They are one of the best things I had to eat in Oz. The
other thing at the top of the list was the kangaroo fillet with a sauce made
of plums and peppers that I had in Kakadu National Park near Darwin.

Too true NMR!! men are hoomins too....

I am going to tell you woman this as a personally favor from men.
Do you remember what I did for my DW on valentines day the breakfast in
bed and so on.
We might not act like it but when we are pampered it means as much to us
as it does to you
Except when we are sick than we want are mommy

Both me and my DW try to do something for each other just to get a smile
sometimes. When I have a long hard day my favorite thing to have done is
for her to come up behind me and give me a body hug like I am the only
person alive.
The words I missed you today mean more than how was your day to me. Us
men don't show it but that link means more to us than anything else

FedEx them they will never know they really aren't going to worry
about a chocolate bar


And you cause so much trouble girl you start talking about all the
good food and you gets use hungry out here. You got my mouth watering
for one right now. :-)


Well, I'm sitting here trying desperately to be unselfish and leave the
last little bit of the ice cream for DH.....

what is a baby spoon full just enough to tease him :-)

Honestly, I'm almost gonna do it...except that poor baby will be working
in the rain all day, and probably need some comfort food this evening.

That's why I love this group too! I get to hear about all the
places I would love to visit one day. And I would have sent Tim Tams
with my christmas cards, If I thought customs would let them
through!!

Customs will let them through, but if we send tim tams to one person, us
Aussies will have to send them to everyone, and I'm not that rich!

Maybe we can chip in to send a box to the US and Burope and then elect
someone to distribute them from there. or something.

Yowie

You could send them all to me... but I'm not responsible if they all get
lost in the post!

That's probably true. A couple of years ago, my mother ordered some candy
to be sent to my daughter as a Christmas gift. The box was delivered, but
it was empty.

Seeing as I'm TRYING to change my eating habits for the better lately,
I'm SO relieved the whole Pacific Ocean and the International Date Line
is between me and Tim Tams AND Tim Tam Ice cream, or I would be in
serious trouble!

Oreos..... I can live without those and pretty easily. But chocolate
covered biscuits... THAT's dangerous!
