I'm going to get a coffee
what do you lot prefer to dunk in your coffees? Since the Wispa Gold is no longer available, and you can't get chocolate Hobnobs for love nor money, here, I'm going with a Twix.

KitKats. Preferably dark chocolate ones. Failing that, just some dark chocolate will do.
The Wispa Gold was one of the finest chocolate bars, ever.

I can't understand
why they were stopped. The finest coffee-dunking chocolate bars ever.

The tea-dunking chocolate bar of choice, of course, is the refridgerated Mars Bar.

I can't even find normal Wispas now.
I haven't had one for about 3 years.

I haven't looked
they had large pockets of air where there should have been chocolate.

*Dark* chocolate KitKats? I have to get back to the UK.

Limited edition, I think.
Probably been and gone by now.

Do they not do wispa gold any more?
Jesus, I leave the country for two years and return to find an animated frog at number 1, John Leslie's ex the countries biggest celebrity and now no wispa golds.

penguins
and they work well in tea
but I have found a british source of timtams which are even better
( Giant bunny jumping out like a large happy tourettes rabbit, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 11:38, archived)

Are they the Autralian things?
If so, I haven't met an Aussie who doesn't rave about them.
( Flapjack I spay a little mare for you, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 11:41, archived)

yes
yes they are
*scoffs the lot*
( Giant bunny jumping out like a large happy tourettes rabbit, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 11:42, archived)

Don't you
bite off the corners and drink your tea through them?
( Zuowan, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 11:44, archived)

indeed
but then you have to get them before the tea inside melts all the choc and they fall apart
( Giant bunny jumping out like a large happy tourettes rabbit, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 11:45, archived)

meh
give me a penguin anyday. timtams are piss-poor imitations of the penguiny goodness
( Fergburger, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 11:45, archived)

but there are no toffee penguins

( Giant bunny jumping out like a large happy tourettes rabbit, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 11:48, archived)

Penguins have an air of cheapness about them, in my opinion
I was made to go to school with a Penguin in my lunchbox every day for three years because my poor parents could not afford to smoke and give me culinary variety.

*weeps*

oooh, but in tea,
bite the end off a penguin and suck the tea up through the biscuit, then turn it upside down and scoff it in one
OHhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm

Tell me about it
They're OK, but for lack of anything better in Australia they've acheived an almost religious following.

Nice, but over-rated.

If we're talking chocolate biscuits, rather than cocolate bars - Caramel Chocolate Digestives are majestic.

Abertethy Biccies
or good shortbread
( Giant bunny jumping out like a large happy tourettes rabbit, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 11:49, archived)

Never tried the Aber whatsits
but a good quality shortbread is a thing of beauty.

But not chocolate.

I meant abernethy

they are lovely

I'm currently
drinking peppermint tea, and there's really nothing you would want to dunk in that.

Although that would be sort of mint choc chippy. Hmmm.

*goes to hunt for a Kitkat*
( Dekazer, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 11:40, archived)

Don't do it!
It leaves an oily skin on your tea, not pleasant.
( Zuowan, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 11:42, archived)

Kitkat's
are the king of dunking for normal tea - does it do something weird in peppermint?

Is it SCIENCE?
( Dekazer, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 11:44, archived)

It's to do with the non-milkiness.
That's the best explanation I can come up with.
( Zuowan, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 11:46, archived)

Hmmmmmm
I shall bear this in mind. My humble thanks.

Tea, then?
The only excuse for Rich Tea to exist is that they can be usefully dunked in tea.
( Flapjack I spay a little mare for you, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 11:42, archived)

I'll dunk whatever I have to hand (excluding my cock, which is a given)
Hobnobs are my favourite I guess but we had some weird shortbread with bits of cherry in that had the most amazing taste when dunked. It was like an orgy on my tongue.
