| I do however seem to remember the ginger nut as THE dunking biscuit of all time, in fact it was the only safe way to eat it when I was growing up. more.. |

| May I add it can be made with any form of alcohol - the sherry option being probably the best balance between budget and gluttony (dunk a ginger nut in whisky and see what I mean! Um-ummm)
Additionally, ginger nuts make a smashing base to a crunchy lemon meringue pie, in place of stodgy pastry. more.. |

I particularly like Marmite on my toast. more.. |

| I recall that their dunkability is a bit limited as they are inclined to break up quickly in a mug of tea. more.. |

| Dear Nicey,
Marvelous job on the book, I chortle through my tea breaks at work with your lovely book in my hands (can make dunking a bit tricky, mind you). ... It may be considered as biscuit dunking herecy, but I'm going to say it anyway; Since working at ShakeAway I have discovered that those little black circular American Oreo Cookies make for very good dunking, apart from leaving little black specks in your tea. more.. |

| (Not a biscuit I'd normally give away as I'm rather partial to a packet or two dunked in a nice hot cuppa, but I recently left work and it thanks to my reputation as a high-volume biscuiteer my leaving gift was a catering pack of Custard Creams from the cash and carry. more.. |

| Dear Nicey,
I've been a fan of dunking for many years, and having purchased your book as an ideal gift to a friend, I felt I had to write and share, as my friend refers to, my advanced dunking technique, which is now folklore in my social circle and was wondering if anyone else is a "2 Cuppa" (not seen anyone on the site). ... Simply put, I make 2 cups of tea, one for dunking, and one for drinking, thereby negating the concern of a mis-timed dunk (especially important when mastering the Jam Sandwich cream technique (just enough time to warm the jam, but not too much to risk structural integrigity lose by melting the vanilla"glue", Fox's are the best of all JSC's!)
I'd be interested in a poll to see who else is a "2 Cuppa", may also be interesting to see if "2 Cuppa's" out there are advanced enough to differ on the drinker and the dunker!!!
Yours in anticipation,
Derek "Dunker" Newton
NB - I was once with a rather posh family and dunking in public was frowned upon, I was almost ejected from the premises! (A shame as the biscuit question was the legendary sweetmeal digestive cream). more.. |
