apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

If you are born and bred in Britain you won't get far in life if you don't know how to dunk a biscuit and as a Brit I must tell you never to dunk a chocolate biscuit in your tea as the chocolate melts into the tea and if you don't take sugar you will totally spoil the taste.
As for the best biscuit to dunk it is definately a biscuit called Rich Tea which comes in round or finger shapes, finger being the best as it doesn't stick to the side of the cup. Never dunk for longer than 2 seconds as your biscuit will fall into the tea and that is just sacrilege.
Sad isn't it?

I could not disagree with you more Di Overton. I too am an English woman and dunking biscuits, chocolate coated or not, is perfectly acceptable. As for spoiling the taste of tea, some of us would argue that the tea is merely providing the moisture for our biscuits.

Although Hob Nobs are great, I would highly recommmend some McVities Milk Chocolate Digestives over Hob Nobs!
