Old Boggy Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Being a persistent biscuit dunker, I was wondering which biscuits, if any, people prefer for dunking. I know that I should really get a life and have more important issues to think about, but I prefer ordinary digestives for dunking. However, we recently bought some 'Choc Chip Digestives' from Sainsbury and they are so absorbent that one second dunking and they are completely soggy to the point of dropping off in the cup of tea or coffee. Others such as rich tea can take several minutes before becoming remotely moist. I know, I really should get out more So what's your favourite ?

chrisjpainter Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Chocolate containing biscuit dunking is fraught with danger. You're playing with fire doing such crazy things. For me it's a classic digestive or hobnob, but definitely no chocolate. Rich Teas are good, but liable to breaking and leaving a mess in the bottom of the cup.

oneshot1979 Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Bourbons. Stand up really well to the carelessly timed "overdunk". Rarely have a man overboard moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver One Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Choc chip cookies (aka Maryland cookies ) hobnobs any choc coated biscuits to save angst and chocolate digit unpleasantness use TWO choc biscuits 'choc to choc' so you only hold the uncoated side never try a completely choc covered biccy unless drunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Belvita breakfast biscuits are shaped well for the purpose but your timing needs to be ninja sharp, otherwise it's a spoon job …. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Hobnobs, chocolate digestive or shortbread. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sussexboy Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Another vote for Bourbons. They are excellent dunked in champagne as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Townie Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 The Australians do a thing with Timtams (a bit like Penguin biscuits) where they take them from the fridge, nibble off both ends and suck the tea or coffee through the biscuit middle. The cold chocolate keeps it intact and as soon as it starts to melt, you eat the whole thing. One of the best things I’ve eaten. I could fancy one right now...

mel b3 Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 I prefer to take a bite of biscuit ( anything with chocolate ), then take a sip of coffee , then close my eyes and chew as the flavours melt together in an angelic chorus . Call me a maverick, but that's just the way we roll in tipton. It also saves me from getting mushy biscuit down the front of my tshirt.

Dougy Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Slightly off your normal biscuits, i can recommend a Tunnocks Caramel Wafer, you cant over dunk these, they stay pretty much intact. http://www.tunnock.co.uk/products/caramel-wafer/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that it's choccy hobnobs for dipping or foxes Viennese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
