Love the picture of the Rocklea Road bar. Looks like a greasy turd. Is that what they mean when they say the food is from “Down Under”?

Kat,

We’re in bad shape over here. I only know one place to even get Tim Tams and that’s at the Tuck Shop. Do you like Mint Slice better than Original Tim Tams? What are some other Aussies desserts that we’re missing out on?

I love a Tim Tam slammer with hot tea, the hot beverage melts the inside….Darryl Lea Rocklea Road is superb and I only wish we could get it here. I dream of it. I haven’t been to Oz for a few years…..

[...] Tim Tams, Vegemite, Mint Slice, Cheezels and several other Australian goodies can be found in a small glass display case inside Tuck Shop. You haven’t lived if you’ve never had Tim Tams. [...]

Found your wonderful site entirely by accident. Though how it’s going to help me when I live in Brisbane I just don’t know - I can feel a trip coming on later this year - maybe New England (I’ve always wanted to visit there) and New York??

Got very excited when I saw your double chocolate Tim Tams image and your comments (I know, I lead a very sheltered life - it doesn’t take much to excite me!!)

I thought ‘wonderful, I can share the delights of the Tim Tam Slam with you all’ - then found that others have beat me to it!!

But I haven’t seen anyone else stressing:
1 The fact that you MUST ONLY buy the Double Chocolate Tim Tams - nothing else will do, or
2 The dietary effects of Tim Tams - it’s not at all difficult to eat a whole packet in one sitting - so beware!!

@L.D.

I’ve never had anything close to either of these desserts in the statest but I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled.

@Darryl Somers,

I’m all over the Tim Tam slam. I did it with hot coffee and it was ridiculous.

@Anon,

I’ve heard about the licorice, definitely gonna check it out. Not a black licorice fan though.

@Ripe & Filet,

Breakfast Tim Tams? How can you go wrong. Never been to Australia.

@Jessica,

Thanks for stopping by and for leaving that great link. I’m tempted to order a case of Tim Tams. Are you in NY? Have you been to Tuck Shop?

@Bill,

I’m here for you buddy. Go to Tuck Shop, you’ll love it.

Thanks for the info on these. I think I just felt a single tear roll down my cheek when I looked at the picture of the Tim Tams.

Tim Tams are awesome! You can get them pretty much anywhere there are Aussies.
The best place would be the Australia Shop in Covent Garden: http://www.australiashop.co.uk/
Enjoy your trip, and stock up on Tim Tams, they are VERY addictive.

Are these available in the UK, do you know?

My wife and I are heading to London soon for our annual trek to Wimbledon. My wife was an excellent tennis player in her youth and we love to do the “strawberrie and cream” thing each summer.

These treats intrigue me and I would love to sample them, but will not be to NYC for some time.

I LOVE Timtams with a passion!!! Tim Tam Slam is awesome

They have diff. flavors like mocha and dark chocolate and caramel…. when I went to Australia, I came back with 10 TimTam packages and still wish I had bought more!

Thank you for the tip I’m going to Tuck Shop NOW!
