To those living in Australia...

Subject: To those living in Australia... Thu Jul 26, 2007 7:19 pm

I went to Australia a couple years ago and I saw a number of interesting food stuffs, including this weird tea thing.

So I can't remember the name of it, and its driving me crazy. They were these little squares of biscuity goodness and chocolate, and one would bite the corner, sip the tea through the middle of the biscuit and proceed to eat the rest of the cookie-thing. Does anyone know what I'm talking about, or am I just a loon?

Are they? That sounds familiar. I think you solved my mini-mystery, Keeks.

I used to looooooooooooooove Tim Tams so much. Now I can't eat them of course, but when I could I could never master the art of sipping coffee through it. It just didn't wanna work for me! Maybe it's just a skill.

AND I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DON'T HAVE TIM TAMS IN AMERICA! Hahaha that's one up we have on you guys! Razz

When I was in 5th grade, I did a report on Australia, and we had to make a food dish from our country, and I made this dessert, it was like marangue and had strawberries... I dont remember what it was called. You guys know what I am talking about?

Tim Tams sound crazy cool, we'll have to hunt some down.

Pavlova? Lol. That's the only thing with meringue I can think of...

And Tim Tams ARE crazy cool. I honestly can't believe you guys don't have them in the USA... they seem like an American thing.

Yeah. That's a shame though cos it's soooooooo basic and sooooooooooooooooooooo yum!!!

I could eat pavlova everyday for every meal. I'd end up obese but damn I love it. I was just thinking about nagging my dad to make a pavlova earlier today! Haha. Especially with passionfruit drizzled on it. And flake spread on it. And strawberries of course. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
