I'm Australian, so yeah, I know 'em. Can't say I'm a fan though.
Saw my housemate munching his way through some honeycomb ones the other day; they were one of those gourmet packs I think. They sounded ok, I guess.
I'm still a sucker for Ritz.

Yes, as I'm Australian. I've seen the turkish delight ones lying around and have been meaning to grab a pack, but I don't often buy them (though I'll certainly eat them if someone else is sharing).
I prefer Gaiety biscuits though... and Lattice! They're fucking awesome.

yeah I remember those.
my mother had a boyfriend from Australia that she met through Hardwood Hearts (you know, that online card game version of the classic Hearts by Silvercreek that no one remembers? no? w/e)
and every time he came to visit us here in sweden he would bring with him plenty of Tim Tams, actually for my mother but we kids ate them before she ever had the chance to hide them!
it sucked when they broke up... I don't think I ever recovered from the loss of Tim Tams... *sobs*

Mmm, so good. Especially the white ones.
OT: and it tastes damn good. might go have some now.
There was a contest on CBC awhile ago with a host named Tim Tamashiro where he was giving out Tim Tams, so you could win Tim Tam's Tim Tams.
while you make an excellent point...Dags90 said:
No, no, no no no. Anzac Biscuits are always dodgy home made afairs(so more blob shape) and given the name "Anzac" its just wrong to use cookie to describe them. Just the a word originating from what i see as the american popular language cannot be used to describe our most cherished and sacred biscuit. I won't allow it.
if you must call it a Bicky but not cookie
Also; (i don't know if you know, i may have assumed you knew this already because its common knowledge in aus) Australian NewZealand Army Corps(anzac) biscuit
In Australia it's only a 'cookie' if that's part of the brand name. I am not above withholding baked treats from small children if they use the word 'cookie' when asking for a biscuit. They must be taught early.shadow_Fox81 said:
I've also been known to punch people who call ANZAC biscuits 'cookies'... Especially if it's ANZAC Day and I've been drinking since the Dawn Service (and it's not a proper Dawn Service if you aren't sharing around a hip flask of rum).
