TIM TAMS

Holy Shit!

My diet is in serious danger, given the fact that I just realized Pepperidge Farms makes Tim Tams in the U.S.

What, you may ask, is a Tim Tam? Well it's pretty much heaven on earth. It's this chocolate cookies thing, that I'm not very good at describing. If you've ever been to Australia, you realize they are pretty much the only cookie in the world worth eating. I'm also convinced they are the sole reason I gained 10 pounds when I lived there---but it was totally worth it!

I've heard a rumor you could get the originals at Cost Plus Market (a store where you can get lots of cool foreign imports) but never put the effort in to actually search.

But now that Australia's number one cookie (Australians apparently eat 400 million Tim Tams a year!) is available easily in the U.S. I may be in trouble ;)

Oh and important tips:

-They come in a bunch of different flavors, but the original (or chocolate creme I think they call it in the U.S.) trumps all others by a mile.

-If you see me and bring me some Tim Tams, I will show the secret paradise known as the Tim Tam Slam. All I will say is that it requires a Tim Tam and a cup of tea...and it will rock your world.

Here's a link to the website if you want to start up your obsession.

Oh and this may have happened like a year ago, but us world travelers get a little behind in the times on occaision :)---and I still felt I needed to spread the word.
