campmother2002, I have just checked Countdown's website and they don't appear to have them - in fact I'm not sure if any of the regular supermarkets do have them now, they used to, but I feel sure that you'd find them at speciality shops e.g.Mediterranean Food Company.:-))

type Sponge Fingers in the box thingy over to the left & put last year. There's a thread from earlier this year about the same thing with some ideas.

cottagerose - thanks for you reply, no need to find Brand, just wondered if anyone had bought them this year and if they remembered the brand! Thanks
That's ok, but I did notice that there were a lot of comments were they could be found. In my New World they used to be in the International section or in front of the deli on a shelf. I must have a look tomorrow.

I posted a recipe long time ago here, they are easier to make then driving to a supermarket!

campmother2002, I have just had another look at Countdown's website. searched last time for sponge fingers - no luck; searched this time for savoirdi and success!I found:-"Vitt Biscotti Savoirdi 200g$4.49" at:-
Our local Four Square has them, I saw them there today, couldn't really tell you the brand (sounded foreign, Dutch maybe!) nor the price, but they weren't outrageously expensive.

Wow, thanks everyone for replies - saw the Savoiardi ones but they are too thin and appear to have a kind of icing on them, just want the "old fashioned ones", will check my local 4 Square tomorrow, neither P & S or Countdown in Taupo have what I want.Will have a look in Bin Inn too.

The Sivoiardi ones I have seen in Countdown are plain and work fine in Tiramasu

That sounds really easy.Might have to try it.How many does the recipe make!

depends on the size you want. We also make them as small rounds for babies and kids to dunk in hot drinks. They are super easy. Fast too. Cheaper & faster to make them at home.

savoiardi are the "proper" ones to use, they soften when your soft ingredients are added.

Not a terribly helpful answer I'm afraid.Seeing as they are "sponge fingers" I would normally try to make them finger sized, not football or foot sized.I was really only wanting a rough idea of whether the recipe would make 20 or 30, or more like 40 or 50.

was going to say what you posted cookessentials as the ones I bought are the proper ones
