To find dunking disgusting?

[scarednoob]

It makes biscuits and bread soggy and fills the drink/soup with great wet lumps. Yeuch. Why would anyone do this to themselves or their innocent food??

Never tried it with a twix shinyshoes2! Will have to remedy that!

Fraggle your nephew is very wise

As the old biscuit ad said, 'A drink's too wet without one.'

YABU.

Yabu for making me first see the post and think, "what have I done?! What have I done!!!??".

yanbu for not liking dunking, but I wouldn't go as far as disgusting. When my children have tried it they are quickly told it is common and not to do it. I don't even know why I think of it as common, just don't like to see them do it.

The only biscuits for dunking are ginger nuts. Cheese sandwiches are for dunking into tinned tomato soup.

Ha-ha, I will take note and never dunk from now on. Because you find it disgusting.

Bathsheba, I agree, but also cheese sandwiches dunked into tinned oxtail soup got me through a lot of hangovers and comedowns in my youth.

Craving it now actually!

YANB entirely U.

But not all dunking is equal.

Dunking bread into soup that is thick enough to coat it rather than soak it = acceptable dunking.

Similarly, dunking a very dry and hardy biscuit into a hot drink very quickly in order to flavour and slightly lubricate the biscuit = acceptable dunking.

Any dunking that results in something soggy is wrong. One of my exes was an unacceptable dunker and a cunt. He'd dip toast, croissants and even cake into hot drinks. The resulting soggy food and unwanted floaters was enough to make me heave despite not having to consume it myself.

Praise jebus, we have a convert who has seen the light!!

Ooh, and those of you who like using biscuits/chocolate bars as straws...try it with coffee through a Rocky bar (original, not caramel). The biscuit goes absolutely sublime.

I know someone who used to dunk sandwiches into ribena when they were little
But biscuits in tea and bread in soup is fine imo.

Here: have a &
How else do you liberate the creamy middle of a custard cream?

Sounds amazing elderlyKoreanlady! Will definitely be trying that! As well as the twix! He is far too sensible for a 5 year old nocapes, and he's also missing out on an incredibly tasty experience for it

Waste of a good biscuit.

I dunked a brownie into coffee today. It was lovely.

Biscuits in tea.....just no!
Bread in soup however....oh aye! I just drop wee bits of bread in to soak up all the soupy goodness... to be fair though, gluten free bread needs all the help it can get in the moisture department.
Don't like croutons though.

CigarsofthePharoahs you want a fun-sized Aero with a toothpick stuck in to act as a holder.

Mmmm warm bubbling chocolately deliciousness.

Spira are no longer made? Why did no one tell me?

I have always dunked. Mother tells me that the Queen dunks. I trust mother to know such things.
If it's good enough for HM the Q then it's good enough for you.

It's gross and my 3 dc have picked up the habit from dh....bleurgh, don't get me started on plate licking

But surely biscuits are meant to be crisp, not soggy. That's why you keep them in an airtight tin and are meant to bin them when the go soft. Doesn't it defeat the object to soggify them in a cup of tea.
And the detritus it leaves in the bottom of the cup is just boakworthy.
Crunch don't dunk, people!

Oh my god, people are swapping dunking tips! The madness is spreading!

greyponcho by peeling it apart and scraping with my teeth like any normal person, of course...

honey, the point of dunking is that you get a soggy bit AND a soft bit. Best of both worlds. And bonus melted chocolate if you're dunking a chocolate biscuit.

The church attached to my dd2's school recently decreed that people receiving Communion could only sip the wine, no dunking the wafer into the cup was allowed (the activity has a special name but I can't remember what it is)

I am tempted to email the vicar in the strongest terms to tell her that she is violating the basic human rights of the parish's dunkers!

OnlyLovers, my other favourite flavour tinned soup! I must try that!

See, I can't get worked up about the inalienable right to dunk if we're talking about dunking into cold drinks.

It's all about hot dunking for me. (not a euphemism)
