Tim Tam Slam


Letting you in on something we've been introduced to while here in Tokyo.  Not Japanese, certainly, but part of our Japan experience:  the Tim Tam Slam.  I've heard it called other things, Tim Tam Challenge and the like, but really, rhyming always wins.  (Big Mac Attack, anyone?)

Take a delicious Tim Tam cookie, straight from our Aussie friends down under, and bite off opposite corners. Use the cookie as a sort of straw to suck up a warm drink of your choice--tea, coffee-like beverage, hot chocolate, whatever.  Just as the liquid reaches your mouth, quickly toss the cookie in too, as it's about to lose all structural integrity and drop into your lap.  SO DELICIOUS. Really, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, and the parts themselves are pretty darn tasty.  Hoping you can find these little gems at your local grocery store.

    I ate Tim Tam in Bangkok. I did not know about the straw effect. Which is probably good. I can only imagine how many I might digest during that activity.

    We learned about this from Caleb Coburn who learned on his mission in Hong Kong. I find Tim Tam at Target at Christmastime. The caramel Tim Tam is best and hot chocolate is our drink of choice (of course).
