Dunk or no dunk?

[Daniel]

Down here in Oz we use the Tim-Tam biscuit for this. Apparently the two opposite corners of the Tim-Tam are bitten off which creates a sort of chocolate biscuit straw. As the hot coffee is drawn through the biscuit by sucking on one end it melts the chocolate centre of the Tim-Tam. It's very good, apparently.

I say apparently as I've never tried it due to the fact that I think coffee is one of the most foul concoctions known to man and can't understand why the whole bloody planet seems to be obsessed with the vile stuff.

I once sucked fruit juice through a double chocolate tim tam. very good if not a bit strange.

Is there some sort of biscuit that a dunking newbie should start out on and then perhaps progress to a more advanced biscuit?

Well for your novice dunker it's probably best to start with something that has a bit of structure to it, a biscuit of the digestive variety, chocolate covered or otherwise, would be my recommendation. Once you've mastered that you can then move onto more challenging biscuits such as Rich Tea, Nice or the true expert choice - Malted Milk

Note to Daniel and other Tim Tam dunkers:
I have seen Tim Tams for sale in certain Morrisons supermarkets and various delis. An Aussie friend told me they are more expensive here.
I might buy some now, to try with coffee.

........and of course

Do you think I need to get a life?

No, but you need serious medical attention from the neck up mate

i do like a biscuit with tea, but no dunking, not ever.

preferabley a McVities chocolate digestive with the layer of caramel or those quite big raspberry and white choc cookies (also McVities i think).

not keen on coffee, tend to find it too bitter, altho i love the smell and coffee flavoured things, am i weird?

I dunk normal bread and toast into bouillon or soup

But I absolutely not like dunking biscuits into tea or coffee, brrr, even to think about the noises that it makes when you bite into the biscuit and suck it into your mouth gives me the creeps.
And don´t get me started on the little crumbs on the bottom of the coffee or tea cup uaaaahhh!
I like biscuits with my coffee but not in it

You cant beat Rich Tea, as long as they dont break off and fall back in your cup!
