Your site is an acknowledged leader in all things dunkable, and I often refer to it when arguing the cake vs biscuit issue with workmates. more.. |

| Hello Nicey,
I've just stubbled across your website after riffling through reviews on amazon and how wonderful that you have written a book on this wonderful aspect of our life -tea! I have just finished a cuppa and managed 3 digestive biscuits out of it - lots of dunking this morning. more.. |

| I couldn't help but notice some negative feedback on your site re Iced Gems, with particular complaint about their supposed 'undunkability'. ... The dunker must hold the Iced Gem by the icing and then lower small rich tea type bit into their tea (granted, the mug or cup must be quite full for this to be done, but considering the limited soaking capacity of the rich tea part of an Iced Gem, this should not be a problem). ... A word of warning - timing (as with most dunking methods) is of the essence here). ... Dunk the biscuit part of Iced Gem for too long and the icing part will dissolve and separate from the biscuit, which will end up sunk to the bottom of the mug, growing mushier by the minute. more.. |

| I found a small sachet of Chai and report thusly: if you brew a really weak cup of black tea, dunked a ginger nut for not longer than disintegration, you would still get a better cuppa than the muck I drank. more.. |

| another one of those lovely designer chappies has come to the aid of all us hapless tea drinkers and dunkers with some woeful bit of tat that is supposed to turn our lives around. ... Doesn't it ever cross these peoples minds that if you like to dunk biscuits in your tea then you might have actually become semi proficient at it and not require some basket device in your cup. more.. |

| A British biccie has to dunk into tea. ... I’ve never heard of anyone dunking biscuits into their milk at work. ... Who drinks milk at work? Who drinks milk and dunks biscuits into it. ... A twist-the-two-discs apart is required, lick off the cream bit and then dunk. ... I’m thinking dunking an old Oreo would be like dunking a Jaffa cake. more.. |

| The sogginess after dunking in milk (horror of horrors) is actually part of the appeal. ... We also dunk other cookies as well. more.. |

| Don’t suppose you have any tips on making the perfect hot water then? Any advice would be welcomed, biscuits just don’t dunk the same in hot water!
Looking forward to trying the Suffolk adventure fruit cake recipe too – will it taste as good in Cornwall?
Sincerely,
