Do you dunk?

No. Not to do with etiquette but just the thought of the sogginess is making my toes curl.

No, not a dunker here either! Never seen the attraction of a soggy biscuit.

I'm known as the Devonshire Dunker. Particularly with digestives, rich tea or Hobnobs.
But not in posh venues (a rare event!)

I dunk ginger snaps and I even dunk mars bars to lick the melted chocolate it’s delicious

No, I never have been I like a crispy biscuit and never drink tea anyway.

No, I can’t say it’s ever really appealed.

Biscuits are one thing, but the mother of my French exchange girl (I was 14) used to dunk her bread and butter tartine in a big bowl of milky tea every morning. The sight of those globules of melted butter floating on top of her tea honestly made me feel 🤮!

Certainly not😱
Never have, never will.

Yes - mainly ginger nuts and preferably in coffee; sometimes rich tea, preferably in tea! Never chocolate biscuits and never my home-made shortbread biscuits.

Never have; never will - so long as I have a tooth remaining in my mouth...

Oh, yuk - no way!

I agree with those who break their biscuits and dunk half. Definitely wouldn't contaminate my team with chocolate or dunk anything with a filling though.

Most dunkable: digestives, nice, rich tea and possibly even sponge fingers.

Two things:

1 On the rare occasions when I eat Rich Tea biscuits I butter them, stick them together and don't dunk.

2 Using swipe typing on my iphone produces dunk when I'm trying to write dunnock.

Hands in horror for me (since you ask!).

Never have,never will….🙃

I dunk shamelessly, I don't give a fig about etiquette, I'd do it anywhere! It's always in public anyway as I don't harbour biscuits at home. Always in coffee as I don't drink tea and it's generally a ginger biscuit. Dunking time is critical, I don't like soggy but I do like soft and I don't want to challenge my expensive dentistry by biting into a hard biscuit.
I've heard there's a north-south divide on this issue...it's OK practice with northerners but not southerners but don't know if that's true.

I love Rich Tea dunked in my glass of milk.

I only dunk in tea. I don't have sugar in my tea so only plain biscuits like Rich Tea or Digestive otherwise the tea gets too sweet.

It depends on the biscuit. My home-made ginger biscuits don't need to be dunked when they are fresh but they harden over a few days and then they do 🍪

I'm a dunker! and not ashamed to admit it 🤣

Never.
Soggy crumbs in my tea. Yuk.
I do break biscuits into small bits though rather than taking a bite out of the whole, which I didn't realise I did until someone said, oh my granny used to do just what you are doing, and then we went on to have an in-depth discussion about dunking!

My mother used to dunk and here’s a funny story. When I was young she cleaned one morning a week for an older woman who thought she was upper class. Mum was allowed a cup of coffee and a biscuit mid morning. One time, making sure the “old kite” wasn’t around mum dunked her biscuit. Later the “old kite” asked “Have you got false teeth Mrs. H?”
Mystified mum replied “yes”. The “old kite” then said “ Only I saw you dip your biscuit in your drink.”
Mum then knew she had been spied on and could never quite work out where the “old kite” had been hiding, but she never trusted her again.

I used to dunk a lot more than I do now. I think rich tea are the best but it has to be a speedy dunk or it will be a disaster

I'm a serial dunker, I've dunked them all, except chocolate.
GD when she's here, always asks for a tea biscuit when I have my afternoon tea

Aveline

I don't dunk. Nothing to do with etiquette it's just that I don't like soggy textures. Biscuits should be as crisp as possible for me.

Same here Aveline and I don't like crumbs in my coffee either.

I’m with Aveline.Soggy textures make me 🤮

DH however is a dunker.He says he will dunk any biscuit but shortbread would be his number one!
