If I heard correctly, always questionable these days, these Aussie girls (Shella's) also called them "Cookies" during this obviously tongue in cheek presentation!

Just back with my Lady, from the grocery store, for our weekly foraging expedition.

Low and behold, right there on the self were packages of TimTam's, so I bought some.

Monstrously expensive at $5.49 per pack of either 5.3oz (150g) or 6.2oz (175g) containing 7 & 9 (cookies, bars, biscuits, other ... your choice) in two different flavors (flavours) of either "Original" or "Chewy Caramel". That prices out to well over a half dollar, nearly approaching a full dollar, apiece! The Originals were the smaller package, and I have to suspect that they were not quite "truly" original as they were clearly marked "Gluten Free", so there is that issue to contend with. Meanwhile, of these two available flavors the Originals did not have the word cookie anywhere on the package, but the Chewy Caramel did!?!? They both had the phrase "Irresistible Chocolatey Happiness in a Biscuit" on the wrapper, so I would presume that Jim, and likely other Aussie's would prefer us referring to them as BISCUITS!

I'll rate them as pretty darn good, and somewhat similar to, but not quite up to the standards of the term "Candy Bar", thus cookie seems closer to right on this side of the Big Waters!!!

Out of respect for Jim .... I'll always refer to them, henceforth, as Biscuits!

Excellent news Daniel!!!!

We get them in a whole variety of flavours, below is just a few....BUT original is by far the best!
Aussies (mostly) keep our Tim Tams in the fridge because of the heat.

Nip two diagonal corners off, and use the Tim Tam for a straw and then eat it......heaven!

Now.....being a weekend cowboy, I've always wanted to try biscuits and gravy.
Been given a few recipes by some American cowboys on a cowboy forum, but haven't ventured yet.

That other weird thing you call 'grits' ..... sure doesn't sound to darn appealing, but I'd give it a try!

Biscuits and Gravy is a true breakfast delight, especially when served up with a couple of eggs over easy and some thick slabbed bacon or ham ..... YUM!

Grits ... that is Hominy Grits is something of an acquired taste, that I have not as yet acquired in my over 3/4 of a century of trying. They are not really bad, but I also really can't call them good, though some folks seem to love them. Hominy is a corn like grain with very large kernels, and Grits is having those kernels ground up and boiled into a mush like bowl of gritty paste with a unique flavor that once again is something of an acquired taste!?!?
