Possibly, dear chap - But do try to Dunk a biscuit in your tiffin - it's Bliss Baby...... But if you don't drink tea - Dunk it in your coffee...... ------------- Play me my song, here it comes again |

| I've recently discovered in Sainsbury's a kind of thin, lemon biscuit imaginitively entitled "lemon thins". Obviously, they're only of use if you have good reflexes, but despite their flimsy nature they are enhanced a thousandfold by a good dunk. The perfect accompaniment to a spot of early evening Caravan grooving. |

You silly Brits...all you have to do is make the food soft enough to eat to begin with, and then you won't have to soak it in liquid.

Damn you Swinton - why can I not select both Hobnobs and Choccie Digestives?
A good cup of earl grey, a pile of Chocolate Digestives, and 'Topographic Oceans': utter, utter, bliss. As any good Englishman knows, and indeed, in the words of Sir Sidney Rough-Diamond, to his long suffering wife: "Any time is tiffin time!" -------------

Oreos are little chocolate sandwich cookies with creme in the middle and yes you can dunk them in coffee/tea/cocoa ------------- "I'm in a freefall like a snowflake falling down down down down down." |

| Dunking is one of life's real pleasures, those who have yet to indulge should do so while there's still time.. |

Duchy Originals (yes,the big eared heir to the throne's brand) do these butterscotch caramel biccies that dunk perfectly in a proper cup of real Northern man's tea (none of your limp wristed Earl Grey, well not for dunking in anyway). Mind you, chocolate hobnobs also dunk a treat. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

If Monty Python had made Carry On Up The Khyber it would be hailed as the comedic masterpiece that it truly is - the pairing of Sid James as Sir Sidney Rough-Diamond ("As a 'ighly trained British diplomatist, I can be just as 2 faced as what 'e can") and Kenneth Williams as the Khazi of Khalabar ("I spit on their British phlegm") was as good as it got. And as for the Devils in Skirts - ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

Is there a special technique for dunking, or can i just splash them through the coffee. PS how long should I let the bisquit in? ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

That's a very personal question Tuxon. Personally, I would say keep it in till it starts to flop.

Timing is everything when dunking - it's such a bummer when the bicky is immersed just a little too long and most of it drops back into the mug when you try to take it out. Rich Tea are particularly bad for that, especially the fingers - the round ones seem to hold together a little better, but only just. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'
