Ask anyone who has visited Oz who has tasted a "Tim-Tam" Biscuit. You will throw all the others away.
If you ever get here you HAVE to try the "Tim-Tam Slam" which is as follows:
You will never eat another biscuit again.

They are tougher than they look, on first inspection you may think they're a bit thin but don't let it fool you, these babies can withstand a triple dunk, or one big leisurely dunk. Double dunk to maintain some crunch. It's got honeycomb and chocolate in them so very very sweet.
well ill defo have to give them a go, trip down to the local shoppy tonight it is then.
must admit it was a ****e advert, crappy kitchen and why were the curtains closed when it was day time?
Think i can see another ****e thread coming on here
Farmfood used to do two packs for a quid. Don't know if they still do. I've sickened myself off them. I ate too much man I ate too much.
Now, the other 'delicacy' that we have in Australia is the "National Dish" Vegemite.
Comes in a jar similar to the old Marmite.
You only need a smidgen as it is pretty potent (but tasty). They tried to sell it to the Americans but got the wrong promotion company who knew nothing about it. They stopped Americans in the street, scooped a tablespoon of it out of a jar and asked the Americans to taste it. Every one of them spit it out and declared that it should only be fed as a last meal to condemned murderers. So it never took off there.
Believe me, it is very tasty.

I read the main reason it sells well in Aus is because rural folk use it for illegal bootlegging and popularity wise it's just like Marmite where most hate it it. It's basically condensed yeast. Can't be good for you.
I never got into it myself but the "Child Bride" loves it (being a "Dinky-Di" Aussie) and eats it by the bucketful.
Had it on toast(Marmite not Vegemite) and was given it with far too much on, it was rank. But had a little dab and taste I find a bit bovril like and not too bad. I like Twigglets.
Just though the bootlegging thing was interesting. Booze made strange ways always is.
love a light smount of marmite on toast, with poached of scrambled eggs. does that beling on here or the eggs thread?
also, I'm surprised Jack Colback hasn't turned up on this here thread, as everyones least favourite biscuit.

I've never heard it used in 'bootlegging' but apparently it is true.
Home-made 'grog' here in Oz is a popular pastime and I have tasted some reasonable ones but people tend to prat about with the recipe and you hear tales of entire backyard sheds being blown apart in the middle of the night.
When they started to make Vegemite here it was an offshoot of the British "Marmite" so they called the original one "Parwill" (get it? Ma Might but Pa Will) pretty lousy hey! But Vegemite took off like a rocket and nobody would be seen dead without a Jar in their house.
I'll get my coat.
