| Dear Nicey and the wife,
After reading the descriptions of sop and other arcane and inappropriate uses for tea on you site, I feel compelled to let you know about my sister's dunking habits as a child. ... Having mastered the complexities of the rich tea and digestive, she moved on to other less appropriate dunking items, the worst of these being sausages. ... Not only did the grease from the sausage float across the surface of the tea after dunking but the salt which had been liberally sprinkled on the sausages prior to dunking was dissolved in the hot liquid transforming the tea into something quite horrid and undrinkable. ... I would like to apologise to all those people who find the thought of this nauseating, but I thought it would give you a chance to use your new dunking icon. more.. |

| Dear Nicey,
One day while I was having a nice cup of tea the person I was talking to (who was not having one) asked if I minded if she dunked her biscuit into my tea. ... What is the etiquette of inter-personal dunking? Does it depend on the relationship between the person with the biscuit and the person with the cup of tea? (The person who asked me was an acquaintance. ... ) Are there people out there who don't mind and are prepared to put up with a bit of sog at the bottom of their cups for the sake of biscuit-loving, non-tea-drinking dunkers?

| Love the new dunking icon - it still wouldn't make me want to put soggy things in my tea though. ... Anyhow lets all have a rousing post Friday lunchtime 'Hoorah!' for the new Dunking icon, how did we get by without for so long? more.. |

| The result was a biscuit which was slightly too large to be eaten comfortably and, due to the butter content, unsuitable for dunking. more.. |

| mpg** featuring 2 nice cups of tea with short bread biscuits for dunking. ... Actually the bit with tea and shortbread finger dunking rocks, and the scones look very appealing, well done Hoorah etc, not sure if the Wife will approve of the rest though. more.. |

| I will agree that the Kit Kat is more than just a choccy bar, they are great for dunking, that gives them a good biscuit grounding if you ask me. more.. |

| (If that makes sense?) Perfect, too, as dunkers - the crisp ginger biscuit on either side of the malleable cream centre acting a little like the stabilisers do on an unsteady child's bike. ... (Cream alone, I imagine, is hardly a natural choice for a good dunking?) In sum, then: ginger creams, a perfect ensemble of taste, texture and structure. more.. |
