Oooh I have to disagree - coffee is best for dunking! I will eat most biscuits, and they all taste better dunked...especially chocolate digestives.

judith,put your glasses on lol...will leave that for marion to post later! with a lot of biccies,i agree, they do taste better in tea,but hobnobs are great in both...love choc biccies too,cos the choc gets mixed up with the tea,and gives it a lovely taste! bryan.

Generally I'm not a 'dunker' but a biscuit is great to scoop up the froth from a cappuccino!

No, I'm not a dunker - I don't get the sludge in the bottom but I always manage to drip when the biscuit's going from the cup to my mouth, and it's usually on something important! Maybe the fact that I don't drink tea or coffee has something to do with this LOL (although I do have hot chocolate for breakfast). Mandy :)

The biscuits I can't resist dunking are Ginger Snaps, probably wierd, but I like the taste of the tea after a good gingery dunk!!!

Oh, Lynda, yes! I LOVE to dunk ginger biccies in tea! Black tea though, cos I can't stand milk--yuk! Also M and S choc chip cookies dunked in coffee--the perfect breakfast!
