penguins
and they work well in tea
but I have found a british source of timtams which are even better

Are they the Autralian things?
If so, I haven't met an Aussie who doesn't rave about them.

Don't you
bite off the corners and drink your tea through them?

indeed
but then you have to get them before the tea inside melts all the choc and they fall apart

Penguins have an air of cheapness about them, in my opinion
I was made to go to school with a Penguin in my lunchbox every day for three years because my poor parents could not afford to smoke and give me culinary variety.

oooh, but in tea,
bite the end off a penguin and suck the tea up through the biscuit, then turn it upside down and scoff it in one
OHhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm

Tell me about it
They're OK, but for lack of anything better in Australia they've acheived an almost religious following.

Nice, but over-rated.

If we're talking chocolate biscuits, rather than cocolate bars - Caramel Chocolate Digestives are majestic.

Abertethy Biccies
or good shortbread

Never tried the Aber whatsits
but a good quality shortbread is a thing of beauty.

But not chocolate.

*spacks gently*
