In honour of Australia Day, which is tomorrow, Wed. january 26, I am sharing with you one of our favourite ' icons'........the Tim Tam. It is a biscuit made by an Australian company called Arnott's . ( I think it is probably a multi-national company now but originated in Australia, and the biscuits are still made here ). Any way they are chocolate biscuits and they are delicious; especially dunked into coffee, hot chocolate or better still a coffee flavoured liqueur like Tia Maria or Baily's. A favourite way to have them is to bite off the top and the bottom, put the biscuit into your liqueur and use it as a straw to suck through. Yummo ! I,m having mine today with hot chocolate. Australia Day is celebrated with a public holiday, and being summer most people get outside with family and friends and cook a BBQ with sausages, lamb chops, salads, a couple of beers and a bottle of red wine. Enjoy Tea on Tuesday and visit Kimmies blog here to join in.
oh that made me so homesick for australia, I could eat a whole packet of tim tams right now! completely forgot it was Australia day tomorrow! they were my favourites. We named our black dog mintie after minties! such great aussie icons! thanks for a lovely memory and now I am craving them. So glad you tried out black and white, keep going, sometimes it takes a while to start noticing stuff that looks better in black and white. Have fun in melbourne and enjoy tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteMmmm Tim Tams, although my addiction tends to be Arnotts TV snacks. I can eat them endlessly! Happy Australia day!

Happy Australia Day. It sounds like a fun holiday and a chance to enjoy friends and family. It may not be much of a time to celebrate, with the floods knocking on even more doors, but I'm sure it's a much needed respite for some.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of veg-o-mite, but never TimTams. These look absolutely yummy. And as always, your superb photos tell the rest of the story!
Ok...those look so yummy!!!! I'm a sucker for chocolate. Happy Australia day!
