Absolutely rich tea. On its own its pretty middling, but its the best for dunking hands down. It does a good job of holding its form when dunked, and its flavour is enhanced/complimented best by the tea.
Digestive is the mighty dunker.
If you either put two together, or break one in half and stack it. The integrity of the biscuit is increased and you get double the dunk! God tier dunker.
This also works well with Rich teas and chocolate digestives!
Hobnob is the SAS of buscuit dunking but my personal fav is a digestive.
Please take a moment though to pay respects to all the half digestives we lost along the way from dunking slightly too long
Biscuits are my greatest love and my nemesis. Get a packet of really spicy ginger nuts, m&s for instance. Dunk and eat the whole packet before your tea goes cold (this takes practice). While your mouth is still slightly burning from the ginger, gulp down the hot tea: the combined burn is.fucking exquisite. (And a recipe for diabetes…). Foxes crunch creams are also awesome dunkers.
Most of you are deciding based on how well the biscuits stand to being dunked.
Sure, some of them hold their integrity a little better, but this is not the priority.
If you are careful, all of them can handle being dunked. Flavour after dunking is the most important factor.
Fox’s Crunch Cream and Viennese have their flavours enhanced to mind blowing levels from dunking. Nothing else comes close except maybe chocolate hobnobs
Jaffa cakes are in fact cakes, not biscuits. There was a court battle several years ago between McVitie’s and HMRC over whether they were cakes or biscuits. HMRC argue they are biscuits and as such subject to a higher rate of VAT, but McVitie’s fought back and won.
My personal favourite is the hobnob
Skill is required to get it right as when disaster strike you end up with oats all over the mug
I once knew someone who dunked Mars bars – disgusting habit – the mug afterwards was in a!!! terrible state
He became a vicar – although he seems to have spent most of his career as Vicar at a school and I fear for those poor kids
I’m glad to see we’re getting back to the more serious civic questions, after the distractions of the last month. Obviously the correct answer is the Nice biscuit, but your dunking time is critical. Too long, and it’s a disaster. Too short and it’s a warm, wet crunch, which somehow sounds almost obscene. 2.72 seconds, ftr.
Oh, Garibaldi. I miss you and love you.
My mom was born and raised in Birmingham. She moved to the States in her early twenties. I’m lucky enough to have enjoyed several of these during my childhood.
As well as the digestive, I honestly like malt biscuits when dunked in tea. More than when they’re not dunked. It’s mild but nice and (obviously) malty. I also feel like I can eat more of them than digestives.
