Limp Biskit

Here in Australia they have a biscuit called Timtams

 

Timtams are rather like Penguin biscuits; they’re the same size, chocolaty (although they have other flavours), and cloying. However, they are, I think, inferior to Penguins in all but one respect. The preferred local method of eating Timtams is this

You bite off one corner, then bite off the corner diagonally opposite and use it rather like a fat straw to suck up your cup of tea. When you’ve sucked tea through it pop it into your mouth whole and wait for it to give up its form and melt all over your mouth. I’ve tried this with Penguins and its o.k but rather adds to the cloy. With Timtams, however, when it splooges inside your mouth, the feel is rather different and altogether better. It’s a nice way to eat them. You know, Australia is rather worried that it has an obesity problem.
