Biscuit Dunking

Britons across the country are divided over the optimum time to dunk a biscuit in a cup of tea, a new report reveals.
While those in the north of England like to plunge their biscuit into their warm beverage until it is rather soggy, those in the south of the country are more hesitant and only opt for a quick dip.

Are we divided or do you actually have a biscuit dunking preference..and WHY !

( Just for the record I would throw up if you dunked a biscuit in front of me )

Re: Biscuit Dunking

It very much depends what kind of biscuit it is. Ginger biscuits must be dunked, I´m sure it´s illegal not to dunk them

Re: Biscuit Dunking

I try not to dunk but can't resist doing it. Just a quick dip and then out again.

Re: Biscuit Dunking

Well I'm quite a 'biscuit dunking connoisseur. I have many years experience on this.

I find it helps to study the quality, texture, thickness and even the make of the biscuit first. Then note the temperature of the tea in to which the biscuit is to be dunked. I find the hotter the tea, the more liable the biscuit is to drop in half in your flippin' tea cup, making a big splash and splashing the front of one's T-Shirt. Most annoying.

After checking the biscuit has no cracks or flaws in it, I tend to do a fairly quick dip nowadays, just to play safe.
Even the best laid plans can go wrong.
