(shortbread goes into the "plain" category)

(cookies go into "plain" unless they have a greater than 40% chocolate content by volume in which case they go into one of the choccy categories)

for lots of dunks i would say short bread, but for the quick soak up one dunk probably something like a rich tea or a cookie.

i prefer the middle of the road bourbon

problem with shortbreads is that if you leave them in the tea for about 5s or so the dunked part falls off.... worse feeling ever when you see it happenning, as it always happens just as you undunk it

I love a good dunk. But I don't drink my tea with sugar. So having half a biscuit sitting at the bottom of my mug doesn't appeal to me. I dunk it long enough for the tea to be absorbed, a little sogginess, but not so that it breaks off.

Dunking is a science :)

You do mean 40% "persiavable" chocolate content.

Since none of that commercial crap has that high a real chocolate factor.

Aaanyway, no dunking for me since dunking a bissie in the fizzie would be weird.

Yes i've done it! Happy now...

Choc digestives or bourbons 4tehwin.

While were at it...is dunking socially acceptable in mixed company? I never really figured that one out my whole adult life out. Always seemed to me something best done in private, like licking the plate clean or picking ur nose.

natalie imbruglia said on graham norton's show about what the aussies call the orgasm biscuit, yeah sounds dumb i know but ms imbruglia is very hot so i'll let her off this time.

anyways you get a penguin bar, bite the top right and bottom left corners off, you dunk the open corner in and suck the other end, just as the tea hits you lips from the biscuit you put the whole thing in your mouth.

i believe u have been having what i affectionately call Man Tea cos that seems to be how most men make/drink tea that i know - top tip dont just wave the bag at the cup let it sit in the water for a bit, perhaps even give it a stir:p

also SHORTBREAD FTW!! shortbread with chocolate chips in = even greater pwnage u can dunk em in either tea or coffee

RaR :worthy:
