saintsmokealot Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 If it's anything like an Oreo I can't imagine not have a tall glass of milk. 1
Fosgate Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 When I was a kid I used to love dunking my grandmothers Sugar or Walnut cookies in her black coffee she made that always smelled and tasted awesome. Parents tried to tell me coffee would stunt my growth. What would I be 6'9 instead of 6'6?? Even though it has been Nearly 30 years I can still remember the smell and taste like I just had them. 2
soutso Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Ive tried dunking a biscuit in coffee and it just doesnt cut it. Dunking a biscuit for few minutes in milk on the other hand is absolute heaven.
Smallclub Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 btw, for your general knowledge, please gentlemen note that "to dunk one's biscuit" translates in french to "tremper son biscuit", which means "having sex" for a man (light slang). Keep that in mind if you're invited for tea by a french lady… 4
maduro Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 I don't dunk biscuits, but a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie requires a good coffee dunk.

cigarbreak Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Because it tastes good. Some dunking pairs are better than others though
BCC107 Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Hobnobs into tea is brilliant! Just makes them a bit juicy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwAYglwe3HU#action=share This is the only way. Melts the chocolate just so. Moistens the crumb, so there's a nice contrast in texture.
Squarehead Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Forget about biscuits! Who dunks their cigars? - and in what??? Don't go there
Squarehead Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Not since I was about 8... I used to dunk my slice of bread which was topped with jam until about 40 years ago.My grandfather and my dad did it.

Treva Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Arnotts gingernuts dunked in tea or coffee. Seriously, I was 'so so' about the old gingy before I noticed a guy at my work go through a pack a week... Asked him why... Put me on to dunking and am a convert but only those and the snaps. Milkarrowroot tried, prefer plain. 1
El Presidente Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 When I visit Cintruenego spain (family) breakfast is always a pastry (biscuit) that one dunks in milky coffee. Love it 1
leftimatic Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 My Aunt used to babysit me many moons ago and my favourite mid morning snack was buttered toast dipped in hot chocolate. I make it for me and my kids all winter long. And a good stiff cookie dipped in coffee never hurt anyone, unless it is dipped to long and falls apart and lands in the cup leaving a giant blob in the bottom. Only time this is any good when there are chocolate chips involved. Side note knew some folks that put vanilla ice cream in their tea. Tried it once and near puked.
dangolf18 Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 In the U.S. we only use the word biscuits for dog treats or biscuits and gravy. I do like soaking italian cookies (eg. Biscottis) or tea cookies in cappucinos. Would never dunk them in black coffee or coffee thats too hot...they'd fall apart too easily. 1
jat Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Only with tea. Never coffee. Tim tams only with hot chocolate. But you can't just dunk them. Need to bite off a tip on either end and slurp up the hot chocolate like the tim tam is a straw. The. Best. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Ah the old tim tam orgasm. Dare you to do this and try NOT pulling your sex face !!!

MIKA27 Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Can somebody tell me what is the fascination with dunking biscuits in your coffee? I was in a meeting earlier today with a customer and the guy must've dunked 5 Arnott's Milk Arrowroot biscuits in his coffee. I just tried it myself when I got back to the warehouse, but I can't see the fuss. just makes the biscuit mushy. What gives, people?! Come on Fuzz, what is up with you? Such a simple life pleasure and you don't like it. Seriously, go grab a Scotch finger and take a dunk in a coffee. It will convert you mate.
CaptainQuintero Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 probably goes back to world war one and those "hard biscuits" rations I was taking with a friend in the US about it and the best we would come up with is ships biscuits. The US style buscuits is extremely close to ships biscuits which were soaked in gravy to soften up.
... Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Full story expected, with much exaggeration. Ahah! Oh well, the bare minimum or trouble, no shenanigans at all. Just getting older I guess
Ferrero Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Love dunking a chocolate digestive in my tea personally but it's not for everyone. I will leave this here though: http://www.dunkingbuddy.com/ 1

Fuzz Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 Come on Fuzz, what is up with you? Such a simple life pleasure and you don't like it. Seriously, go grab a Scotch finger and take a dunk in a coffee. It will convert you mate. Just tried dunking with a Scotch Finger.... nope. Still a little, meh. Did a quick dunk so it didn't get too soggy, and it did pick up some coffee flavour, but the mouth texture is all wrong. Rather munch on the biscuit and drink my coffee. Love dunking a chocolate digestive in my tea personally but it's not for everyone. I will leave this here though: http://www.dunkingbuddy.com/ Prefer my Choc Wheatens straight from the fridge where they stay cool and crunchy.
