Anyway, I was told that the Australian way of drinking the port was to bite of 2 opposite ends of the cookie, dip one end into a glass of port, and then suck it up like a straw. After getting the cookie sufficiently "flavored" ... ya eat the cookie.
Well, I tried it ... son-of-a-[beep], it was good ... and packed a hell of a punch. But my question is ... was this simply a prank, or an actual custom in Australia?

I've never heard of using a tim tam with port. Usually the idea is to use the Tim Tam with coffee or Hot chocolate, but hey, if you enjoyed it that's great.

But chocolate with port?? Never heard of it. A cafe latte perhaps...

I have no idea what tim-tams are but they sound sweet. If it's cookies... well, I like ice cream with my port so who am I to complain?
