What's the best dunky biscuit?

[PK99]

I only drink coffee black - with black coffee ginger nuts are the only correct dunks - great combination of ginger, sugar and the bitter coffee

I have heard that dunking in black tea or coffee gives a longer dunk time and greater absorption as they are fat free whereas the fat in the biscuit matrix dissolves if the drink is fatty with milk resulting in premature collapse.

Ginger nuts, definitely. My late granny's home made ones, even better.

From sucking the chocolate off mars bars to school chaplain...

Mick Jagger didn’t have that problem! 😳😉

I'm not generally a dunker, but have experimented with these, with ok results (still prefer them when uncontaminated by coffee though)...

Can also be used to decribe the path of a wandering drunk from the pub to home. On a serious note this is a brilliant book to get kids into science

Rich tea's have their place in this but you have to double them up for added structural strength, of course.

I favour shortbread fingers for dunking. I find that they have a good balance of absorbtion and structural integrity.

At last! I was beginning to think I’d have to post this myself. Petticoat tails work too but fingers best

It is good, similar to why do buses come in threes, though the stories are a bit longer. Probably more for older kids and assuming they've not been turned off by then.
The solution to catching a ball shows how a very simple solution drops out of a seemingly complex problem.

Stollen, every time:

Any biscuit to be dunked should be just biscuit - Digestive, Rich Tea, HobNob, etc. There should be NO chocolate coating, chocolate chips, sandwich biscuits (custard cream, bourbon) or wafers involved.

I used to dunk a Boneo in decaff' tea for my last dog. She seemed to like it. She also liked it when i dunked a Boneo in my pint of mild down the pub for her.🧐

Ever tried biting the ends off a KitKat finger; normal or chunky and sooking your hot drink through it - ?
An interesting taste experience - !
