Can you buy Tim Tams in USA?

[Billy and Charlie's Mum]

It's been a long time since I've seen casino winnings. I think I can handle $3.99. :)

 

Let me know if you like them Pia.

I am going to run to our World Market right now to check on them. Heck, I have nothing better to do... just a dissertation to write:eek:

Hi,

 

My girlfriend is a member of the Arnott family. In the 1990's due to the last Labor Gov't pressure the Co was sold to Campbells Inc. There was an attempt years ago to try to market them in the US but it was a total flop. Recently, the Pepredge Farm division of Campbells was thinking of putting them out in the US but nothing yet. I love the SAOs too and the mint slices and the tiny teddies and the shapes and the Jatz's etc etc.

The person who came up with them in the 60's died a few years back. My girlfriend's uncle cam up with the name from a horse at the Kentuckey Durby. Ans she says they were better years ago when the family made them.

Add to my list....go to World Market in search of Tim Tams/Arnott's....

 

Now what are Crunchies, Pollywaffles and Violet Crumbles?

[TracieABD]

Ok. I am back from World Market, and they did have them in chocolate and mint. I bought a package of chocolate ones and they are pretty delicious.

They are also on sale for $3.49 this week. :)

You do know it is impossible to stop at just one timtam:D

I love my Milo, sprinkled over vanilla ice cream......YUM:D:D I usually bring back 2 big cans every trip but it goes soooo fast.

Talk of all these Australian delicacies makes me homesick.:(

Did not seem to be a big rush on the TimTams, but the wooden Adorondak Chairs for $70 seemed to be drawing a crowd.

 

I was just practicing "dissertation avoidance therapy"!:p

Hi Tracie, gee that is a bargain for the chairs, they are ..aus $295.00

just got to love Tim Tams.

 

kind regards, Lorraine:):)

[TracieABD]

I do love the TimTams. I spent part of my childhood in Germany, and we had access to all sorts of European yummies. I really liked the English biscuits, and these are pretty close to what I remember.:)

[snookymom]

Well if everybody else's World Market is like mine they should be glad for this thread! There were 2 people in the store besides me.:eek: There was no worry about me being tempted by chairs as I made a beeline for the candy/cookie department & left.:D

It sounds as if there are a number of us CC folks who are participating in "dissertation avoidance therapy"!!!:p

[seastar2]

I saw Tam Tams at my local Pepperridge Farm Outlet last week...2.99 a box...they had a box with 3 packages of diffrent chocolate flavors...:rolleyes:

[banksidedrive]

We lived in New Zealand and positively existed on Tim Tams... There is nothing like them in the US, but we have brought many, many, many packets of Tim Tams and other biscuits in from NZ every time we travel there and have NEVER had a problem or a question from Customs. Bring all you like, and all you can fit (and one or two for me...) and I promise you, since they are a non-meat, non-plant, packaged and processed food product, you're perfectly legal in doing so (no need to smuggle!)...

Thanks for the interesting bit of Arnott's history...and I do agree that they used to be better (though still very yummy now of course). But SAOs are now too small...

Yes, I remember many a rainy Sunday afternoon when I was growing up having sliced tomatoes on Sao's in front of the TV watching the afternoon matinee. Good memories!! :D

Now what are Crunchies, Pollywaffles and Violet Crumbles?

 

Crunchies are chocolate covered honeycomb in a bar about 6 inches x 1 inch x 1 inch.

 

Pollywaffles are marshmallow logs covered with a crunchy biscuit coating and covered in chocolate.

 

Violet crumbles are the aussie equivalent of crunchies.

[Pia1913]

Good Morning everyone. OK, today is Tuesday, and as promised I am going Tim Tam hunting. My husband thinks I'm nuts, but if it gets him a cookie he'll go along with anything. ;) Will check in with you later today and let you know if I was successful. :)

Hi Pia, happy hunting. Your husband will change his tune when he tastes the Tim Tams.

Hi Eileen. When I was a kid our mums always served buttered SAOs with a slice of tomato and grated cheese on top for afternoon tea. Important not to assemble the delicacy too soon, otherwise the SAO got soggy. (My grandson stilll loves SAOs.)

Yes, inquiring minds really want to know just what are Cherry Ripes?

 

With the way we all are going maybe we should buy stock in World Imports! ;) See what you started Eileen! :D
