Either bb is right and the cut price ones don't have it (unlikely) or it is a ruse to make me fat (likely).<br /><br />farmers wife - you are a very good wife.

Looked up how to spell dilemna or dilemma as the spelling I learnt comes up as an error (mind you, so is 'learnt' atm so is that incorrect as well??).<br /><br />As as for Tim-Tams....for all of you who do not know, there is only one ultimate way to eat a Tim-Tam. Bite off both ends and 'suck' a warm drink (tea, coffe, hot choc) through the left-over middle bit. Then stuff the whole warm, slightly soggy biscuit in your mouth so that it melts. Omg! Heavenly!Brissiemum2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11933172169962612609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-32641736761545845262009-08-22T13:29:06.651+10:002009-08-22T13:29:06.651+10:00I LOVE Tim Tams!

My roommate taught school in New Zealand for a year and the only thing important she got from the whole experience was discovering Tim Tams ;-) They are so hard to find here in Utah. I finally found them at a specialty store called World Market (Debby, do they have this store in your neck of the woods?) and they are $5.99 (US) a pkg. But i splurge once in a while as they are so good. Have you heard of a Tim Tam Slam? Where you bite the ends off and suck milk through the Tim Tam and then it melts in your mouth...just heaven. I'm guessing you guys made this up as i can't imagine us Yanks coming up with it :-)<br /><br />Sorry to ramble on, i usually only do this on BB's blog but i couldn't pass up the Tim Tams!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15634507045153522634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-78808667489431411042009-08-22T13:00:03.463+10:002009-08-22T13:00:03.463+10:00Deb - I just finished buying the groceries.

I suppose it would be a wrong thing to tear into a package of cookies you had no intention of buying to get the promo code to win free cookies (biccies?) for a year. (the answer is yes, isn't it?) <br /><br />*sigh* <br /><br />Jeanie, you know what you need to do. Free biccies for a year?

Who'da thunk?<br /><br />Tamsyn - ah, sometimes you need to walk the confectionary aisle to know what you're missing (although at our shop they had them handily placed at eye height near the checkout).<br /><br />RW - how confusion. But I s'pose there are lots of things we learned in our day that are taught differently these days.<br /><br />Debby - Tim Tams are not cookies - they are bickies (and the best - I now KNOW what I have to track down and send stateside for you to truly appreciate!!)<br /><br />BB - Where did you hear that!!! Oh my, that is a whole 80 cents more (and then I look at the scales offered by Debby and think is it worth 80 cents).<br /><br />Dana - first to find out posts here, okay?<br /><br />Kari - yup, for once you guys were waylaid by wierd spelling. Oh - <a href="http://www.arnotts.com.au/our-products/products/arnotts-tim-tam.aspx" rel="nofollow">tim tam home page</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Tam" rel="nofollow">its on Wiki entry</a>. Next lesson will include throwbacks.<br /><br />Leenie - oh wow!! You are a very lucky lady. The originals (which hopefully are available year round for you) are required for the most decadent way of eating them, though - throwbacks.
