PS I've got a jar of Vegemite Name Me sitting on the shelf with your name on in right now. Gonna send it home with MM next week.
Oh and what's your thoughts on sweetened condensed milk?
Hi Moon. No Tim Tams yet.. until October supposedly. I did find the regular Tim Tams (no dark) at an Israeli grocery store in NYC. The woman there told me its also popular in Israel and they (Israelis) try to claim it as their own... despite it NOT being kosher! Go figure! And they charged 7.00 USD each!

But if you want to eat the dark.. go ahead! And yum.. no name vegemite.. I can't wait!

did MM have a nice visit down under? I waved to him when I last drove by Worcester, Mass (2 days ago).

Guess I better throw a couple of packs in then. (Should have them before the end of September)

Anything else you have a craving for that I can send back with MM?

Oh and MM is still here mini, so I hope it was a BIG WAVE!

(Lotta people want to be claiming the Tim Tams but we all know they're true blue Aussie. )

I first saw mention of them on the Graham Norton show. He was being shown by a guest how to bite off both ends of a Tim Tam then suck hot tea through it. From his reaction I wanted some. Yeah, right.

Good to know I can finally try this!!

An earlier post made me wonder. Replace the tea with Guinness? Yum!!

If all the jars of vegemite was expired, how could anyone taste the difference? Sorry, couldn't resist.

Thanks Sonrise, my opinion exactly. As stated earlier in the thread.
I'd only give it to someone I really disliked, or as an April Fool joke. Same with certain brands of beer, such Coo...oh, never mind.
