dunking
people dunking biscuits into tea or bread into soup.

thereby turning nice, crunchy biscuits or fresh, crusty bread into a mess of soggy goop that i can see dripping back into your mug with big chunks of it falling back into the liquid, floating mysteriously around on the surface....

should be illegal.

dunking
Absolutely.
Should be punishable by immediate injection of high velocity lead into the dunker.
Aaaargh!

Soup
I'll dunk any bread-based goods I can get my hands on in my soup.

just have to make sure it's a quick in and out in order to maintain integrity of the bakery goods.

I will dunk biscuits
in my tea or coffee and I love dunking crusty bread in soup. But I don't like people who dunk their croissants in their cappuccinos.

*wonders if he is coming across as horrendously middle class*

Al - not at all.

DA (dunkers anonymous) - I have been known to dunk when (a) hungover (b) in France.

Yes, yes, yes this is different from my opinion above, but there's a reason for that - I'm a hypocrite.

Yay!
Hypocrites of the world unite and then complain about the crowds and lack of parking.

oh I forgot about the thick layer of butter on your crusty roll before you dunk it!

Mmmmmm, that wonderful crunch of the crust and the sweet butter mixed with lovely peppery soup.

I'm really really hungry now.

Me too!
Hoya!

Yes, I HATE this! It's bloody gross and disgusting, is it not?

For the record, I love crunchy muesli... Without milk, for the same reason!

Be funky

the art of dunking
A career dunker knows that the perfect dunk marries the sogginess of the outside with the crunch of the centre. Best of both worlds. Shortbread fingers are best for this.

Only unskilled dunkers...
...end up with disintegrating biscuits.

Dunking

Tea:

-1 fresh cup of tea, PG Tips, milk and no sugar, in a wide-mouthed mug. Not a cup.
-Take one freshly opened packet of Chocolate Hobnobs.
-Dunk a chocolate hobnob about an inch into the tea.
-Enjoy the melted chocolate and the slightly chewwy oaty bit.

Soup:

Dunking bread in soup is nice because it a) gives you something to do whilst the soup is too hot to eat normally, and b) makes a fantastic contrast. You have the insides of the bread roll being slightly soggy and tasting of th soup, the crust softened in most places with the delicious conctrast between a hard bit and a soft bit, and (real) butter melted by the heat of the soup ready to add its flavours into the mix.
