What the the bollocks is a Tim Tam Slam? Well I’ll tell ya… cause I did one today. My boss just came back from a 3 week vacation (do I even get that many days a year?) to New Zealand. She came by to say hi and ask if I wanted a Tim Tam Slam. A group of willing participants were collected in the cafeteria and…slams were done.

First of all what is a Tim Tam?

Well it’s kinda like a biscuit. Kinda like a cookie. It’s good. It’s coated in chocolate so that might be why it’s so good. It was very “Kebler Elf”. But what was more fun was the Slam.

Secondly…what is the Tim Tam Slam?

As the wikipedia article explains, the Slam is basically a fun way to eat a Tim Tam. In the slam, you bite off opposite corners and basically make a straw out of the cookie. The Tim Tam is enclosed in chocolate so the straw concept actually works. You dunk it into your tea and begin to suck very hard thru one corner. What happens next is the best part. The heat of the beverage passing through the cookie/biscuit causes the Tim Tam to rapidly melt from the inside out and just about the time the tea or coffee make it to your lips the Tim Tam is a semi stable gooey chocolate mess that you “SLAM” into your mouth.

It was good. Several people at the table had some trouble getting the tea to pass thru their Tim Tam. They weren’t sucking hard enough. Of course I did not have this problem. LOL.

Try one. If you can get a Tim Tam in the US. They are hard to come by.
