Tim Tam SLAM

In Australia, where I am not from, there is a chocolate biscuit called a Tim Tam. There's a routine to eating a Tim Tam called a Tim Tam Slam. It goes like this:


Step 1: Heat up a mug of milk. Put it on a saucer with two tim tams.


Step 2: Bite off the ends of the tim tam.


Step 3: Use it as a straw for the milk.


Step 4: When you feel the milk reach your tongue, suck the whole Tim Tam into your mouth and feel the chocolately goodness melt in your mouth.


(My well-traveled, novel-writing friend Stephanie introduced me to this treat.)
