Dunk... or not

Post by **Betty Boop** » Wed Apr 28, 2010 6:24 am

Come on, own up, who dunks their biscuits in their tea or coffee??

I'm a dunker but it can be problematic with wheat and gluten free biscuits, I often 'loose' the biscuit

I am forced to go and change my clothes now before the school run, as I just dropped half a biscuit on myself :rolleyes::wah:

Is there any other way to eat cookies or donuts? I guess thats why every shirt I own has coffee stains on the front.

Only way to eat an Oreo cookie is to dunk it. :wah:

Post by **LarsMac** » Wed Apr 28, 2010 7:18 am

I just wear dark colored shirts with busy designs, so the stains don't stand out. Problem solved.

Cow biscuits, rich tea, custard creams....no question, dunked :-6

Dunk, definitely! Not choc biscuits though! :wah: But - ginger nuts, marie, rich tea, digestives (non choc), but you do have to be careful with all of them, except possibly the ginger nuts, they're a bit tougher and don't collapse so easily! :sneaky:

My mum always said it was bad manners to dunk biscuits in your tea or coffee ! :yh_rotfl

Yes, Gill, but when you live right on the edge, like we do, dunking is just another of life's challenges :sneaky:

Dunk??? My God! you mean to say you dunk your firm crunchy cookies and biscuits so they become warm, wet, soft goo????

Me too! Dunked definately...:wah:

You are all, if I may be allowed to say so, backward uncouth creatures of the night. Biscuits shall no longer be provided at any future ForumGarden meet. Good lord, how I ever fell among such company I'll never know.

Drinking tea from the saucer is an entirely different matter with a long and respected history. What else do you think saucers are for.

Oh dear, everyone knows that saucers are for placing the biscuits on prior to dunking, you break the biscuit in half over the saucer too, to catch the crumbs. Never, and I mean NEVER does one place a whole biscuit in the mouth at once! That really is uncouth :yh_rotfl

I'm very common and dunk all the time, but henceforth, in a nod to Spot I'll stick my little finger out as I'm doing it!!

I have very few vices and it's unkind of you to even remember such moments. What's more, I shall even forebear to retaliate. Given the extent of my ammunition you may think yourself fortunate.
