The Tim Tam Slam (and its Brit Penguin-y counterpart)

Now, I raved about this thing of goodness a couple of days back. But it was hidden deep in a nondescript thread. I feel it deserves its own showcase.

So, anyone addicted to this? I'm looking at you Aussies here...

I must confess that I've never had a Tim Tam. But I can't stop eating Penguin, uh, Slams. It's just too yummy.


Does everyone know what I'm on about here? Or do you need step by step instructions?

I'm intrigued

Ah, I thought I'd have to do a lot more typing. Damn.

OK. I'll go through how to do it, that'll give you an idea of what it is.

You will need:
1/ A Penguin bar (or twelve)
2/ A hot beverage. I find tea works best, but in my Freshers Flu-addled state of madness, I managed it with a max strength Lemsip. It was suprisingly nice...

What to do:
1/ Make hot beverage
2/ Unwrap the Penguin bar completely. Bite a little off two opposite corners (so bite off one corner, then the corner diagonally opposite to that)
3/ Dip one corner into the drink, then sip up some tea through the Penguin bar from the other corner, like a straw.
4/ As soon as you start to actually sip up the tea, tip your head sideways close to the cup and throw the semi melted mess into your mouth before it falls apart. Enjoy.

You'll probably get it wrong the frist time and end up with a disintergrated Penguin bar in a ruined cup of tea, but persist. It sounds a bit disgusting and pointless, but believe me, it's chuffing amazing. You'll thank me for it when you've got the technique down!

I went through 22 Penguin bars in four days doing this. Be warned, it's more addictive than crack.
I'm worried and confused by this thread.

But you'll try it, right?


Trust me on this one. Trust me.

No I feel betrayed and abused when i read this thread, and I can't seem to pinpoint why. I think it's just a general feeling that something is very wrong with the world.

I don't care if it offends you, disgusts you, or turns you on slightly. It's something that you have to try once.

Will it work with a cup-a-soup?
I never really liked them to be honest. My friends are all appalled and think I'm a freak :p: :redface:

*Anyway don't think about food you're on a diet!*

...I wouldn't know.


Like I said, I recommend tea, but I'm sure it's open to experimentation....


*vomits*
A... "Penguin bar"? :confused:

:eek: But it's like a little chocolate orgasm!


But if you can't think about food, I'll stop talking about it. :/

hmmm, you should do it with hot milk



nooooo, tea tea TEA!


Apart from the fact that I don't like hot milk, milk is a bit too thick, I think. Tea is nice and runny. Besides, it goes biccies and tea. Not biccies and hot milk.
yes but chocolate mixes well with milk... seems icky with water :frown: (Tea sucks, it's just hot water with a tiny tinge of leaf-taste!)

Nah, there's enough flavour in the biccie, you don't need rank hot milk ruining it.


Believe me, the formula is good. You don't taste the tea, it just makes it good and melty.


Yum.
