US announces nearly $1 bn in new military aid for UkraineWoolworths has responded to shoppers who are currently “on the hunt” for a limited-edition after it was described as “unbelievable” by several popular foodies. The Australian retailer recently released its festive food collection into stores across the country, offering over 100 new products designed to help “take the pressure” off Christmas. While the new additions to supermarket shelves contained a number of festive favourites and classic dishes enjoyed over the holiday season, there was one new product that really caught the attention of food-loving Aussies. The Woolworths Biscoff Trifle is priced at $35 for a 1.4kg tub, and offers a modern twist on the cult-dessert item, often consumed at Christmas. Instead of the traditional sherry-flavoured sponge cake that is layered with custard, jelly and fruit, Woolworths has woven the popular biscuit spread throughout the classic recipe. Think a creamy Biscoff custard, layered with light vanilla sponge then paired with the iconic spread. It’s then topped with a classic Biscoff cookie crumble. If you think that sounds like heaven, you’re not alone, with TikTok foodies taking to social media in droves to rave about the item. Melbourne vlogger Nectorious Papi told news.com.au the Christmas release was “worth every cent” – despite its larger than expected price tag. “No shortage of Biscoff was spared and it is layers upon layers of deliciousness,” he said. “In my opinion it’s one of the best Biscoff releases that we’ve had in recent times.” 'None on shelves' Hunt for new Woolies item.

Picture: TikTok/NectoriousPapi Foodies lose their minds over $35 item The foodie, who co-hosts the popular Three Food Guys Podcast with fellow foodies Ange Eats and Dub Eats Everything, added that part of the allure of Biscoff is that no one really knows exactly what it is. “I believe people love Biscoff in Australia as we’ve been used to chocolate and peanut butter spreads and then came Biscoff which is one of those spreads you can’t even describe,” he shared. “Is it cinnamon, is it caramel? It’s amazing, that’s all I know. Also it’s vegan so it caters to a much wider audience too.” In a video the trio shared, Ange Eats described the dessert as “f**king unbelievable” and told Aussies they “need to try” the sweet product. “Look at the layers on this,” Dub Eats Everything added. “We’re going to demolish this.” Nick Vavitis – the mastermind behind cult-dessert brand Choclt – said it was ‘beautiful’.

The sweet-treat fan, who is famed for doing food reviews inside his vehicle, said it “captures the taste of Christmas”. “Times like this is why it’s so important to carry a spoon in your car because there is a Biscoff trifle out in the wild which is BEAUTIFUL,” Mr Vavitis said. “I love how there is so many different textures and layers through it. You’re really getting a full Biscoff experience.” Shoppers ‘on the hunt’ for Woolies Biscoff Trifle Meanwhile other social media users, such as Samantha Khater and the team at Sweet Sundayz, also described the festive product as “unreal” and “crazy”. Many raved about the $35 Christmas item. Picture: TikTok/SweetSundayz But it’s popularity meant that some struggled to find it in stores. Picture: TikTok/createwithcarlie Woolworths said shoppers who find 'bone on shelves' should check the store availability function. Picture: TikTok/createwithcarlie But despite the rave reviews, some shoppers pointed out in the comments section that the trifle was “impossible to find anywhere”. “I looked everywhere for this, it’s sold out near me! Just their regular trifle was in stock,” one lamented. “Yeh you can’t get them anywhere,” another agreed. One “hopeful” shopper even documented her “hunt” to find the popular product, reporting there were “none on the shelves” at any stores she visited. Woolies responds to Biscoff Trifle frenzy Woolworths told news.com.au that “due to the popular demand, customers are encouraged to check the in store availability function on our website to see where it is available at their local store”. “Australia’s love affair with Lotus Biscoff continues to grow, with millions of products flying off our shelves every year,” Donald Keith, Woolworths Merchandise Manager for Bakery, added. “Which is why we’ve partnered with Lotus Biscoff to bring Aussies this decadent new trifle just in time for Christmas. “The Lotus Biscoff Trifle captures the iconic flavour in a convenient and festive way, perfect for sharing with loved ones this holiday season.” More Coverage Common act explains Aus divorce rates spike Rebekah Scanlan Shock find in pimple mum ‘squeezed too hard’ Claudia Poposki Originally published as Woolies responds as shoppers ‘hunt’ for new $35 Biscoff Trifle Eat Don't miss out on the headlines from Eat.

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden said Tuesday he was “stupid” not to put his own name on pandemic relief checks in 2021, noting that Donald Trump had done so in 2020 and likely got credit for helping people out through this simple, effective act of branding. Biden did the second-guessing as he delivered a speech at the Brookings Institution defending his economic record and challenging Trump to preserve Democratic policy ideas when he returns to the White House next month. Recommended Videos As Biden focused on his legacy with his term ending, he suggested Trump should keep the Democrats' momentum going and ignore the policies of his allies. The president laid out favorable recent economic data but acknowledgedhis rare public regret that he had not been more self-promotional in advertising the financial support provided by his administration as the country emerged from the pandemic. “I signed the American Rescue Plan, the most significant economic recovery package in our history, and also learned something from Donald Trump,” Biden said at the Washington-based think tank. "He signed checks for people for 7,400 bucks ... and I didn't. Stupid." The decision by the former reality TV star and real estate developer to add his name to the checks sent by the U.S. Treasury to millions of Americans struggling during the coronavirus marked the first time a president’s name appeared on any IRS payments. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris , who replaced him as the Democratic nominee , largely failed to convince the American public of the strength of the economy. The addition of 16 million jobs, funding for infrastructure, new factories and investments in renewable energy were not enough to overcome public exhaustion over inflation, which spiked in 2022 and left many households coping with elevated grocery, gasoline and housing costs. More than 6 in 10 voters in November's election described the economy as “poor” or “not so good,” according to AP VoteCast, an extensive survey of the electorate. Trump won nearly 7 in 10 of the voters who felt the economy was in bad shape, paving the way for a second term as president after his 2020 loss to Biden. Biden used his speech to argue that Trump was inheriting a strong economy that is the envy of the world. The inflation rate fell without a recession that many economists had viewed as inevitable, while the unemployment rate is a healthy 4.2% and applications to start new businesses are at record levels. Biden called the numbers under his watch “a new set of benchmarks to measure against the next four years.” “President-elect Trump is receiving the strongest economy in modern history,” said Biden, who warned that Trump's planned tax cuts could lead to massive deficits or deep spending cuts. He also said that Trump's promise of broad tariffs on foreign imports would be a mistake, part of a broader push Tuesday by the administration to warn against Trump's threatened action. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen also issued a word of caution about them at a summit of The Wall Street Journal's CEO Council. “I think the imposition of broad based tariffs, at least of the type that have been discussed, almost all economists agree this would raise prices on American consumers," she said. Biden was also critical of Trump allies who have pushed Project 2025 , a policy blueprint from the Heritage Foundation that calls for a complete overhaul of the federal government. Trump has disavowed participation in it, though parts were written by his allies and overlap with his stated views on economics, immigration, education policy and civil rights. “I pray to God the president-elect throws away Project 2025,” Biden said. “I think it would be an economic disaster.” ___ Associated Press writer Fatima Hussein in Washington contributed to this report.

CARSON, Calif. — Joseph Paintsil and Dejan Joveljic scored in the first half, and the LA Galaxy won their record sixth MLS Cup championship with a 2-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls on Saturday. After striking twice in the first 13 minutes of the final with goals from their star forwards, the Galaxy nursed their lead through a scoreless second half to raise their league's biggest trophy for the first time since 2014. MLS' most successful franchise struggled through most of the ensuing decade, even finishing 26th in the 29-team league last year. But the Galaxy turned everything around this season with a high-scoring new lineup that finished second in the Western Conference and then streaked through the playoffs with a playoff-record 18 goals in five games to win another crown. Sean Nealis scored for the seventh-seeded Red Bulls, whose improbable postseason charge ended one win shy of their first Cup championship. With the league's youngest roster, New York fell just short of becoming the lowest-seeded team to win MLS' playoff tournament under first-year German coach Sandro Schwarz. The Galaxy won this title without perhaps their most important player. Riqui Puig, the playmaking midfielder from Barcelona who ran their offense impressively all season long, tore a ligament in his knee last week in the Western Conference final. Puig watched this game in a suit, but his teammates hadn't forgotten him: After his replacement, Gastón Brugman, set up LA's opening goal with a superb pass, Paintsil held up Puig's jersey to their fans during the celebration. Brugman was named the MLS Cup MVP after a commanding performance in midfield. The Uruguayan hadn't started a match for the Galaxy since Oct. 5, playing only as a postseason substitute before the final. Galaxy goalkeeper John McCarthy made four saves to win his second MLS title in three seasons. He was the MVP of the 2022 MLS Cup Final for the Galaxy's crosstown rival, Los Angeles FC. Paintsil put the Galaxy ahead in the ninth minute when he ran onto that sublime pass from Brugman and pounded home his 14th MLS goal — including four in the playoffs — in the Ghanaian forward's outstanding first season. Just four minutes later, Joveljic sprinted past four New York defenders and chipped home the 21st goal of his outstanding year as the Galaxy's striker. Nealis got New York on the scoreboard in the 28th minute when he volleyed home a ball that got loose in LA's penalty area after a corner. The Galaxy's usually shaky defense gave up another handful of good chances before reaching halftime with a tenuous lead. The second half was lively, but scoreless. Red Bulls captain Emil Forsberg hit the outside of the post in the 72nd minute, while LA's Gabriel Pec and Galaxy substitute Marco Reus nearly converted chances a few moments later. The ball got loose again in the Galaxy's penalty area in the third minute of extra time, but two Red Bulls couldn't finish. The Galaxy bench rushed onto the field and prematurely celebrated a victory in the seventh minute of injury time, only to be herded back off for another 30 seconds of play. After Galaxy owner Phil Anschutz received the MLS Cup that bears his name because of his steady financial support of the league during its shaky years, Galaxy captain Maya Yoshida carried the trophy onto a stage filled with his teammates for a celebration amid fireworks and confetti. The Galaxy extended their lead over DC United (4) for the most MLS Cup championships in league history. The Red Bulls remain one of three original MLS franchises never to win the title, along with FC Dallas and the New England Revolution. The Galaxy's Greg Vanney became the fourth coach to win an MLS title with two clubs. The former Galaxy player also won it all with Toronto in 2017. The Galaxy finished 17-0-3 this season at their frequently renamed suburban stadium, where the sellout crowd of 26,812 for the final included several robust cheering sections of traveling Red Bulls supporters hoping to see their New Jersey-based club's breakthrough on MLS' biggest stage. Just last season, the Galaxy's own supporters boycotted the team at certain matches, fed up with years of mismanagement and no progress. The club famous for employing global stars from David Beckham and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Robbie Keane and Javier "Chicharito" Hernández swiftly rebuilt itself into a contender this season by spending big to get lesser-known young talents from around the world. The Galaxy signed Pec from Brazil and Paintsil out of Belgium. The duo combined with incumbent Serbian striker Joveljic to form a potent attack that could outscore almost any MLS opponent. But the Galaxy also relied heavily on Puig, their Catalan catalyst and one of MLS' best players. Puig stayed in last week's game after injuring his knee, and he even delivered the decisive pass to Joveljic for the game's only goal.
