Squirrel - what IS that? Looks like a wafer.

Jim & Jinx are best placed to discuss all biscuit related questions, having had Tim Tams from Ducks (I got mine from Ali - nicer than Penguins), a couple of well known brands from me and of course the Merkin version from... well, themselves.

Clod also knows the British version, as she had a selection pack. Sent before I truly realised that so many ingredients were akin to poison in her house

As always, I'm willing to send a biscuit sample to any auld sod who asks.
If you can get hold of the A Nice Cup of Tea and A Sit Down book (Clod has a copy!) then you'll be asking with far greater understanding. But then their website stands on its own as an amusing read.

Just on the subject of international misunderstanding, I've been looking up slow-roasted pork recipes online for this Sunday, and I came across an American YouTube clip. I had my doubts about following his recipe anyway, simply because I'd have to translate measurements and temps, and then he introduced the Worcestershire Sauce. Worr-Sha-Sha. Haggis. To be fair, he did say, "I don't know if I'm saying that right" and after all I know plenty of people who get jalapeno and tortilla wrong. But Worr-Sha-Sha just sent me off into giggles.

I'm sure Dwellars know it's Woosta-sha (or usually just Wooster, as in Jeeves and). But I thought I'd put it here so you can pretend, if you didn't.
