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...


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.

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

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!!

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.....

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.

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

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

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.

Even though I live in Australia, I had not heard of tim tam ice cream
before Meeee so *kindly* alerted me to its existence. *sigh* I had,
very cleverly, by-passed the ice-cream isle with my eyes averted. Now
I have No Option by to try the danged stuff to see if it really is as
addictive as the biscuits (cookies). damn, damn, damn!

Krispy Kreme doughnuts I can give or take; they do nothing for me.
But anyone standing between me and a tim tam biscuit is in danger!

OMG, I *so* did not need to know of the existence of Tim Tam ice cream
just before moving to Australia! Do you realize how much time I will
have to spend working out every day with the easy avaiability of Tim
Tams all around me? Now there's ice cream too. It'll be the end of me
;-)


Last year I had a visit from an Aussie friend. She brought some Tim Tams
along. A few of them actually made it. Either she restrained herself
mightily, or she had bought several packages. G
