Kasha Patel, the Deacons Abroad marketing intern, shares a few snack tips she learned from native Australians:

Try a chocolate jelly baby. I’m sure you’re wondering what in the world this is. Well, Colin, our bus driver to Carnarvon Gorge, showed us the wonderful combination of Cadbury milk chocolate and Jelly Babies. First, let a piece of Cadbury milk chocolate melt in your mouth. Before the chocolate disappears, stick a jelly baby or two in your mouth. Let the two mix and the unusual combination will awaken your taste buds.

Slam a Tim Tam. Arnott’s Tim Tams are an Australian chocolate cookie that come in a variety of flavors such as original, double coat, white chocolate, chewy caramel, dark chocolate mint and many more. While the cookie itself is delicious, Tim Tams taste excellent in a slam. Want to try it before going to Australia? Learn how. All you need is hot chocolate and Tim Tams. I highly suggest the double coat flavor. Tim Tams are sold at Cost Plus World Market stores and select Target stores in the U.S.

Eat a pie, sweet or savory. Aussies love their pies with anything from beef and cheese to apple and cinnamon. Pie Face is one of the major chains with fresh baked pies always in their case. If you’re a student on an Australia program, be sure to grab yourself one.
