TIM TAMS ...... OMG I've been known to eat a whole packet in one sitting (especially the double choc coated ones)!!!
A Tim Tam is an Australian chocolate filled and covered biscuit produced by Arnott's. Although delicious by itself, a decadently yummy way of consuming it is via the "Tim Tam Slam": you need to bite both ends off the biscuit, then use it to suck coffee out of your cappucino or latté. Make sure you have a spoon handy, because the biscuit is liable to quickly break up. Suck as much coffee through it as you can and, when you feel it breaking up, quickly ram the melting biscuit into your mouth with the spoon. Yummo!! Here's how to do it ....
It is particularly bad form to allow the biscuit to disintegrate and fall into your coffee, where it then floats in chunks.
For those of you who live in North America and have weird names for things, what we call "biscuits" includes a variety of items such as cookies. The Tim Tam biscuit would, in North American terms, be somewhat of a cross between a cookie, biscuit and chocolate bar. In fact, larger Tim-Tams have recently begun to be marketed as stand-alone chocolate bars in Australia.
