| This being the case, I must admit that the radical in me has been overtaken by a hint of traditionalism - I firmly believe that for dunking and general purposes the malted milk should remain untarnished by chocolate - I feel it's rather like trying to play an lovely old Bing Crosby record with a phat jungle remix - an unnecessary variation on a soothing classic. more.. |

| When you've dunked your favourite biscuit, and presuming the laws of physics allow, is it OK to put the whole thing in your mouth? I can do a Chocolate HobNob at a push and even two well-soaked fig rolls (that was for a bet) - what do other people think. ... Of course I would view pre-dunking as cheating, you should be able to do this dry. more.. |

| On the count of three, all contestants dunk the biscuit into the tea. ... Once the biscuit has been selected, the first contestant will dunk it into their tea for as long as they dare, the duration will be timed with a stopwatch. ... Each contestant must dunk their biscuit for a longer time than the previous contestant. more.. |

Why has no biscuit firm yet made an Internet cookie biscuit ?
Redundancy
No more office teas for me,
now I can dunk my bread and cheese,
or my giant belgian biscuit
or my moggies' little crispbits. more.. |

| Hello my dear Nicey and TW
What a fascinating site you run dear sir
Keiths experiments raise the question, has anyone experimented with the healing properties of varied biscuits in Homeopathic dilution in tea, potentially as a by product of dunking? Is it based on individual metabolism or can one extrapolate to a generic response. more.. |

| Dear Nicey and the Wife,
Just recently stumbled across your inspirational website (where have I been for the last 3 years?)
I have a long affiliation with tea - originally being from Yorkshire it has been a staple part of my diet since I were knee-high to a grasshopper! I also briefly worked at Twinings tea shop in London (no PG Tips there though)
Although the subject of dunking is covered in magnificent depth on your site, I can find absolutely no refernce to the actual biscuits named "Dunkers" (I have no idea if they are still in production and can't remember which company manufactured them)
They were almond-shaped, roughly 10cm long and and 5cm at their widest mid-point. ... Obviously some research types decided that these are the ideal dunking dimensions and indeed, they fitted neatly into one's mug. ... The dominating flavour was malt - in fact it was basically Horlicks disguised as a biscuit and who in their right mind would pollute their cuppa with a hefty teaspoon of Horlicks? I'm sure even the custard cream-in-port lady dunker would have difficulty in stomaching aforementioned. ... However, on the subject of bizarre dunking, the strangest by far - and not altogether unpleasant - that I have sampled is cheese. ... Can I blame altitude sickness?
Yours dunkingly,
Fiona ... Fiona,
First congratulations on getting the dunking, cheese and airplane icons altogether, well done. ... Yes, those Dunkers have been mentioned to me once before, I never had them and as you elude to it doesn't appear that they are sorely missed. more.. |

| Needless to say, a good accompaniment to tea, though not ideal for dunking. more.. |

| Hi,
I've been a bit of lurker on the site, but wondered if anyone had pointed out the recent important dunkability test in Waitrose Food illustrated magazine. ... I mostly agree with its findings, but I think they have been harsh on the custard cream - a messy dunker but a delight for me. ... So is the case with the Rich Tea which has been pared down for lightning fast dunk times, allowing for huge numbers of them to be seen off with a single cuppa. ... To the recreational dunker it may seem like a tricky customer but in the hands of a pro its a fine tuned dunking classic. ... The fact that they tried to dunk a giant chocolate covered finger, shows that they really were a bit clueless. more.. |

| Dear Nicey,
I have long been a keen dunker of McVities Ginger Nuts, so much so that as a child I was known throughout our village as the Ginger Nut Kid and I don't even have ginger hair. more.. |
