I got my package from Bindii today..

OMG.. Tim Tams are to die for.. I'm in heaven. Now to find a good hiding spot so no one else gets any.

Vegemite wasn't a big hit.. only the Golden Retriever, Sara, liked it..

Kimber thought Vegemite looked and probably tasted like chocolate.. I wish I had a picture of the look on her face when she found out it doesn't Purple haired little freak that she is.. wrinkled her nose and said "I'll never be bad again, if you promise to never make me eat that". (i honestly don't think she can be good for that long.. so I'll keep the vegemite around for when she's not )

Bindii.. you are the greatest! And I am in the midst of putting together a little package of Washington goodies to send to you.

 

[Calamity Jane]

Wow, somehow sending you a couple cartons of smokes when you're trying to quit just doesn't seem like enough.

Need some good ol missouri corn whiskey?

 

[Guru]

Vegemite doesn't sound like a goodie from anywhere.

 

[cybergirly]

After my first encounter with Tim Tams I searched far and wide (well ok, I called all the local import stores) untill I found them here. I LOVE those things, they are the best packaged cookies in the world...

btw: for anyone who is interested I found them at Trader Joes.

I've never heard of Trader Joes.. but I'm going to call around tomorrow. Maybe someplace in Olympia or Seattle has them..

Oh also, I've used the vegemite as sort of a soy sause substitute in fried rice and other oriental dishes...it's good.
I also caved and tried it (with reservations) on bagels with sharpe cheddar cheese. Also suprisingly good.

 

[ExLimey]

Trader Joes.

Okay so there is one thing I miss about living in So Cal.

Trader Joe's...

...the cookies, the bread, the cheese, the potato chips, the guacamole...

...damn now I'm hungry.

Ooh.. good ideas. I only opened the jar and stuck a finger in.. I haven't had time to actually "try" it yet. I will try it on a bagel with sharp cheese.. for breakfast tomorrow.

Thanks

In one word yummy...

ok they are kinda like those little pink and yellow cookie things...can't think of what you call them, you know the ones you ate when you were a kid? with the sweet filling...
waffers...thats the word
except it's a thicker, more dense waffer, with a chocolate filling that is almost like a thick mousse, covered in fudge... to die for I tell ya.

Sara was named after a girl I met online (in a chat room). Samantha (the other dog, who despises Vegemite) was named after our 4 x 4 Suzuki Samauri..

I guess the only explanation I really have is.. we are odd people

Okay. Good enough.

Just so's we're not saying it's a *common* dog name. lol

And girly? Damn...I guess I need to go on a hunt for these crazy Aussie cookies - they sound incredible! *drool*

Geez... offer one person front porch rights, and now everyone wants 'em!

Ok, it's a deal. You get yer ass to Missouri, and we'll sit on teh front porch smokin and drinkin and talkin all night long.

I'm on my way. In about a year or so..

 

[alphacat]

Ecch... I don't like vegemite too much. My British neighbors gave me some a while back, but I didn't like it...
Trader Joe's is great. Too expensive, though.... But lots of yummy good food. Good vegetarios stuff.

You know what I *really* like that's hard to find in the US? Toffee. Not like Heath bars, but just a big hunk of toffee. Butter toffee tastes the best, but I'm strangely addicted to treacle toffee...

OMG I just found this thread, I thought that your package must not have arrived yet. I'm so glad that you like them...and yes vegemite and cheese is nice, although I find vegemite straight from the spoon is nice too...

Don't worry about sending a package from Washington Freakygurl its not expected.....

although I have heard that those altiod things are pretty good in certain circumstances...if they aren't too expensive.

 

[freakygirl]

Bindii

you don't have altoids down there? I'll send ya some.. I have some other ideas also.

I'll get a little box of stuff together and send it.

Any other ideas? Anything else in the US you want to try?

 

[Nora]

Ooooo! Remind me to tell you the story of my father eating a whole package of tim-tams that a friend in NZ sent to me. The whole package. Without ANY remorse. Bastard. Oops, see there? I already told you that story...

In return I sent her Jelly Bellies and locally-made products. I'm in Texas so it was stuff like bbq sauce and dry rub. lol And Texas-shaped pasta!

I'm still a li'l stunned that they don't have Jelly Bellies there. She loved them, btw.
