When we were traveling thru Australia last spring we fell in love with TimTam cookies. Especially the caramel ones. So much we brought a package back with us. What a wierd shock to be in Target today and see a huge display of TimTams now produced by Pepperidge Farm. I'm kinda bummed.

But of course I bought a package and of course they aren't the same.

TimTams are wildly, wildly popular in Australia. Several months ago I found a few boxes of the caramel TimTams in a store here in Morelia and had to try them, given the orgasmic praise some down-under friends always give them.

My take was the same as Merlin's: meh. Surely this was after the Pepperidge Farm takeover.

Mexico Cooks!

Always give without remembering, always receive without forgetting.
