Robust biscuits
 

You ever have this thing happen where you dunk (Ah well I do it..publicly too! Tut! hahaha) a biscuit (malted milk, gingernut...whatever you like most) in your brew, it separates and then you have to get a teaspoon to scoop up the lovely mush in the bottom of the cup?
Ah banal, I know, but sometimes simple everyday stuff is good

I couldn't do that with any biscuit that I dunked (not that I dunk very often) because I like leaf tea and brew it in a mug......if the biscuit sank to the bottom it would have to stay there.......I like tea but wouldn't want to eat the leaves...with or without biscuit :)

Ginger nuts dunked in coffee - bliss!

Always amazed me by the habit of eating bread with potato pie, stews, etc., and wiping the last bit of gravy up with your bread. Sure it tastes good though, just could not match the two together somehow. :confused:

Ewww Margaret. That cast a whole new light on dunking...
Think your tea will be ace without the dunk...

Re: Robust biscuits
 

I like Rich Tea biscuits and they are available as round or oblong
The oblong are way too fragile for dunking, but the round ones need breaking in half to dunk
this thread is surreal:confused:

Re: Robust biscuits
 

How's it surreal?
Ah its just everyday banal stuff

Re: Robust biscuits
 

i thought dunking was the normal practice with hard biccys:confused: at least it is with false teeth.:D

Re: Robust biscuits
 

hahaha cashman.
Thankyou for making me just laugh out loud. So glad I didnt have a mouthful of soggy biscuit or it could have been real messy
hahaha

Re: Robust biscuits
 

My tea drinking habits come from working in the weaving mill(many moons ago) we used to buy what was called a 'brewing'......loose tea and sugar combined, all that was needed was a splash of milk.......and after that I never ever could get used to teabags.
Now you know why I don't Dunk.

Re: Robust biscuits
 

Never knew about that tea mix. Love that. Thanks

Re: Robust biscuits
 

They were threepence and would make two very strong brews or four less strong brews.
The brewings came in a twist of greaseproof paper.......and we could brew up anytime we liked as long as our looms were running well.

I don't know what brand of tea they used but it always made a really good brew.

Thats where the old saying comes from kate, dip your bread:D

Re: Robust biscuits
 

There was once an oat biscuit for dunking, it was an oval shape rather than round.
Not seen them for years.
