Still, at $3 per gram, that gives me a while to save up.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the tag.<BR/><BR/>Matt of Abstract Gourmet - where memes go to die :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27397998.post-1156698782380026482006-08-28T03:13:00.000+10:002006-08-28T03:13:00.000+10:00Rachel- thanks, I never knew about the "other" tim...Rachel- thanks, I never knew about the "other" tim tams. I think ours is definitely more fun to eat. <BR/><BR/>wheresmymind- actually not a lot of Aussies will eat kangaroo meat. They are too scared of eating Skippy, the cute furry bush kangaroo on TV. It's actually more popular in some places in Europe, strangely enough.<BR/><BR/>Mary- it's a pity that Arnott's do not import them to many places. I have heard of Tim Tams being sold at Aussie specialty stores. I remember missing them terribly when I went to visit family in America. <BR/><BR/>Helen- thanks for tagging me it was lots of fun, although really hard to pick which ones to include. But I thought that, if anything Tim Tams had to be on it. <BR/><BR/>Lobstersquad- oh you must come and visit us! I can be your personal tour guide!<BR/><BR/>Ann- kanga-babs, sounds so cute!<BR/><BR/>Jasmine and Bonnie- oh you will definitely find it hard choosing just five but good luck. <BR/><BR/>Ivonne- I think the kangaroo meat is probably the easiest thing to sample as they export it to many places in Europe and North America, unlike Tim Tams which are like an urban myth to many who have heard about it but never tried it. <BR/><BR/>K & S- yes slam away! you will not regret it, its fun and addictive!<BR/><BR/>Megan- I hope you get to discover some of the things on the list.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09206824648193328421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27397998.post-1156664321445348212006-08-27T17:38:00.000+10:002006-08-27T17:38:00.000+10:00This was really fun to read!
