The Art Of Dunking

[Bigmallly]

Can someone please explain the art of dunking without leaving bladdy biscuit in my coffee. You'd think I would have learned by now............maybe I should just ditch the Rich Teas.......

Well according to Peter Kay - it's all about the biscuit choice! Apparently Hobnobs (other oat based biscuits are available) are the SAS of the biscuit dunking world!

Well you see where you are going wrong, BM, is dunking in coffee. Biscuits should only ever be dunked in tea.

And only plain biscuits, preferably homemade biscuits.

Hope that helps

I'm sure someone has invented a lickle basket that you put your biscuit in and lower it into your cup. Then , if it disintegrates you can haul out the crumbs in your basket
Of course, I could be making this up - or perhaps you could invent one and split the profits with me

I agree with rhonsal in the choice of dunked biscuit is important - my abbey oaty biscuits are not a solid as shop hobnobs, so don't stand up to much dunking; on the other hand, my ginger biscuits (a recipe posted on here by Sarzwix some years ago) is a brilliant dunker.

But never in coffee - oh, no.

It would have to be very fine mesh or the biscuit crumbs would drop through - you could experiment with a tea strainer, perhaps?

I'm sure all the ones I buy have an 'airline crack in 'em & there are biscuit fairies laughing their sox off at me...................Thanks Haze, I'll try Tea.

You could pour your coffee into a saicer and then float them off the edge and into your....hand, mouth,woolly hat or whatever.
p.s please check out the Peter Kay stetch on YT I literally wet myself watching it and then had to tell the assembled family I had spilt my coffee into my lap to explain the very soggy patch on the sofa.
Anybody recommend adult nappies?

You calling me lower class Lumpy?...............how very dare you?.............

[veggiechicken]

Drat, someone's already invented summat for clumsy dunkers

[Lumpy]

BM I'm a low class (so low my bum scrapes the ground) dunker and am proud of it.

[Lumpy]

Thanks for posting that clip BM - another soggy sofa to deal with.

Have to emphasise the last point, dunking in front of small children is a bad idea. My two year old is for ever trying to dunk things in my tea and not always biscuits the one time she dunked a biscuit and went to eat it..........well the look on her face........priceless......utter disgust!
