But can you do the tim tam slam with them?

Which reminds me a couple I know recently won a marketing prize ... a year's supply of tim tams. :yum: (It works out as one pack a week, which is blatant false advertising).

I have no idea. I'm brtish. We just dunk delicately.

:yum:

First, that much milk in coffee disqualifies it as being coffee. Second, the toothbrush girl has been slamming too many Tim Tams.

Wh...Why would you wish to slam a biscuit?

Having consumed both, I can confirm that there is a remarkable similarity.
I preferred the Tim Tam.
But then I haven't had a Pengiun since I was a child, and never liked them. I may have warmed to them by now...

I always used to be really disappointed to find a Penguin in my lunch-box.
We took it in turns to choose the biscuit bars for packed lunch. I adored Tunnocks Caramel Wafers (uncoated with choc in those days) or Mint Clubs. Laura liked Penguins however, so they occurred regularly. If I was lucky, Suzanne or Mary would swap with me. If not I'd just give it away, on the usual schoolkid understanding that bought friends were still friends and would return the favour at some point.

You would have to pay me to do a Tim Tam Slam.
I would not sully my tea in that way.
Rich Tea biscuits are the only thing that get anywhere near my (Cellar) mug.

Pepperidge Farms are selling Tim Tams now. Two varieties. Been tempted to buy them at the grocery store a few times.

I knew this was going to be about some strange furren food item.

Is the video correct that an English/Aussie biscuit is not a cookie?

What's the difference, then?

We have cookies....but they're a kind of biscuit. You seem use the word cookie at a different logical level to us.

I LOVE Tim Tams. I used to only be able to get them at specialty shops. Now, they are at walmart - not a good thing!

Not sure if I've ever had either of them.

Well, then, I need a complete classification tree of biscuit varieties.

May I recommend the biscuit review, particularly the one for 'alfajores' (a sort of classy Wagon Wheel when made correctly - i.e. like the Havanna Alfajor)
