Rodger Pettichord Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 HI all. On the "Winter Time Comes Early" thread, a fervid discussion of Australian Tim Tam tea cookies/biscuits has been unfolding. My wife, who is a dedicated tea drinker, saw the discussion and marched off to Amazon to try them. Our package arrived today. Very chocolate, very Australian, very good. Our next experiment will be "The Tim Tam Explosion" in which a Tim Tam is used as a straw to suck tea. If there are further uses for Tim Tams, I don't want to hear about them. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerribleT Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 If you eat enuf of 'em they are quite an efficient laxative although it seems you have discovered that already - personally I don't even have to eat one to get that effect - just looking at them does it for me ..... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got another colonoscopy the end of next month , i hate the prep you have to take for them . This sounds right up my alley ( so to speak ) the Tim Tam explosion technique ...... 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumbypickett Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 As a Kid I would try to bite the whole top biscuit off. And then scrape of the delicious chocolate with my top teeth. It can be done. cheers Gumby 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Never heard of these until yesterday, Amazon about 10 quid for 2 packs?....have to look around maybe Tesco?..... I remember when I told everyone how I liked Oreos but couldn't get them, then they were everywhere in the UK and I had packets everywhere I looked... I could live on coffee and biscuits...and maybe the odd glass of rum.. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only I had known this 30 years ago. It would have saved me a fortune not getting married and buying Tim Tams instead for the same effect. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
