After you have tried Vegemite and curled you're face up at the taste, then why don't you try the next best thing! a Tim Tam
A Tim Tam is a famous Australian chocolate biscuit that has gained celebrity status around the globe.
It is often in the carry-on luggage of departing expats and tourists.
It’s more famous than Crocodile Dundee in some parts of the world and it’s just a biscuit!
Arnotts make the biscuit, and Tim Tams are still classed as an Aussie institution.
One thing foreigners often don’t know about a Tim Tam is that there is a special way to eat it. It’s called a Tim Tam Slam and it is awesome. Here’s how you do it:
1. Make yourself a glass of hot Milo, milk, coffee or tea.
2. Bite a little bit off one corner of the Tim Tam.
3. Now bite a little bit off the diagonally opposite corner of the Tim Tam.
4. Lean down towards the glass and put your mouth over one corner of the Tim Tam, like a straw.
5. Dip the other corner into the glass so it is slightly submerged.
6. Suck the liquid through the Tim Tam.
7. As soon as you taste the liquid, put the whole Tim Tam in your mouth.
What happens then is a true miracle in the chocolate sense of the word. If you have a hot drink (which is the preferred method), then the Tim Tam melts completely in your mouth. It is amazing.
If you need to see a visual, check out this video of Natalie Imbruglia teaching Graham Norton on a UK talk show - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHzMfZ1FaqA
As I mentioned, this is a bit of a local secret that has been passed on since the dawn of the Tim Tam. Now, when you come to visit, you can try it.
Once you have mastered the Tim Tam Slam, spread the word!
