I'm partial to a digestive, despite the fact unless you have an oversized mug you need to nibble a bit off the side before dunking and there is a very fine line between the perfect dunk and a storm in a tea cup. |  |

Digestives are good, I like to break mine in half to ensure adequate dunkage.
I am also partial to a ginger nut and a custard cream.
Strictly 2 a day with a morning cuppa. |  | | |

Have any of the cheese aficionados taken the biscuit part from a Dairylea dunker, to use as a control in any testing of dunkability.
Surely that has to be the scientific approach? |  | | |

For me, it has to be the custard cream.
It has the highest chance of reaching your mouth instead of becoming a 'floater' or even worse a 'sinker'. |  |

HobNob, where's Peter Kay when you need him. |  | | |

Hob nobs are not worthy.
They have the taste and appearance of what is swept off the biscuit factory floor. | | | |

Do you do that think where you time your custard cream just right so that you can actually suck the liquid out of the biscuit when it reaches your mouth? Calls for perfect dunk timing.
I do like a custard cream dunked, but for me a Bourbon shades it. | |

Congratulations Piney. You have won this thread. Every other answer is wildly wrong. |  |

Milk chocolate hobnobs. Nothing comes close. |  |

I'm partial to a chocolate hobnob or bourbon for dunking. Caramel digestives work surprisingly well - the chocolate and caramel help retain the digestive structure | | | |

I have had a life-long knee-jerk response of loudly swearing when the biscuit has plopped into my tea.
This has happened in front of grandmas, aunties and vicars as well as in crowded cafes.
This might be the reason why I live on my own.
The bourbon has to be dunked - it's just too dry otherwise and the chocolate goes all soft and creamy - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. | |

Maybe not the best but let's not overlook the simple pleasure of a dunked Rich Tea. |  |

Rich tea is for professionals only.
The fine line between 'in your mouth' and 'in the cup' is nanoseconds. | |

I'm going to be controversial here, I've never seen the appeal of dunking biscuits into hot drinks. In fact I think it's a bit weird. |  |

Rich Tea are the only biscuit where I would 100% choose the option of biscuit abstinence over eating one. Occasionally my wife buys them as they're the only biscuit that will last more than one sitting in our house. | | | |

This forum is at its best when it asks the important questions.
It’s a ginger nut by the way. |  | | |

2) Our Victorian friends, as a classic example, would frown upon biscuit dunking as a children’s pastime or even working class etiquette… not something that somebody with good manners and class would be seen to be partaking in — controversial! | |

As I haven’t dunked a biscuit since I was about 3, it would have to be a big shout out to the humble Farleys Rusk. |  |
| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

Have you seen the Hovis digestives? Different shape.
I think they are kept with the crackers in supermarkets but they taste the same. |  |

Good manners and class sounds about right. | |
