You mentioned Vegemite in the video. I'd suggest going to a bakery and buying some mini cheese and Vegemite scrolls. Give them a quick whirl in the microwave before eating , they are nice and a good introduction to Vegemite.

Thanks for sharing. Just a Tim Tam Slam tip - nibble off a much smaller corner from each before sucking the tea up - it makes your “straw” longer and it’s therefore easier to get the tea up without trying to bury your head in the cup. Once a little bit of tea comes through the top then pop the whole Tim Tam into your mouth and let it sit there for a moment before you eat gobble it up.

It’s also up to your own personal preference, but I’ve found chocolate goes much better with coffee than tea. I’ll also repeat, the SLAM is because the heat of drink dissolves the chocolate, so you don’t bite the Tim Tam in half, you risk losing it in your drink that way. Instead, slam the whole thing in your mouth as soon as it starts dissolving. Enjoy your practice.

Yep agree doesn’t look like they used fairy bread. Also they aren’t the original hundreds and thousands - they’re a cheaper rip off version with less colours. Not enough butter. And always cut the crusts off and cut into four triangles!

I have never ever tried to ruin both a cuppa and a timtam by dunking😮 it’s been about 50 years since I’ve eaten fairy bread. My wife recommends not eating violet crumble with a denture. Righto, time for some vegemite and tomato on toast after that lot. Highly recommended👍

Ian Norris the man who created the Tim Tam biscuit was travelling through the UK in 1958 when he found the Penguin biscuit and decided to make a better biscuit. The Tim Tam biscuit is named after an American racehorse called Tim Tam which won the 1958 Kentucky Derby. The Freddo Frog chocolate is originally Australian being created in 1930 in a chocolate factory in Fitzroy, Melbourne.

Crunchies are not the same… even in colour. Buy a bag of Allen’s snakes, they have individual flavours. When I was a child fairy bread did not come with crusts ( 55 or more years ago), probably a reason why we enjoyed fairy bread and why it was only served at birthday parties… I haven’t eaten fairy bread since my childhood years! 😀
@stephenogier74994 күн бұрын
Just remember with Vegemite that you only need a little. Use too much and it would be similar to spreading too much Marmite on your bread. If you find you like it, you can always gradually work up to a bit more, but even the most ardent Aussie can only take a relatively small amount when compared to jam or peanut butter. Anzac biscuits and lamingtons are things you should try. Try the lamingtons with chocolate before the ones with jam. For something bigger, make a pavlova.
