What's The Best Biscuit for Dunking?
During February me and my colleagues challenged ourselves to find the best dunking biscuits. Here's the results:
| 1 | Chocolate Hob Nob (25 Sec's) |  |
| 2 | Caramel Digestive (20 Sec's) |  |
| 3 | Hob Nob (20 Sec's) |  |
| 4 | Oreo Cookie (17 Sec's) |  |
| 5 | Plain Chocolate Digestive (17 Sec's) |  |
| 6 | Jammie Dodger (13 Sec's) |  |
| 7 | The Ginger Nut (12 Sec's) |  |
| 8 | Chocolate Chip Cookie (9 Sec's) |  |
| 9 | Chocolate Bourbon (7 Sec's) |  |
| 10 | Custard Cream (6 Sec's) |  |
Other Biscuits Tested
Malted Milk (3 sec's) Rich Tea (4 Sec's) Shortcake (6 Sec's)
Special Mention Biscuits (Biscuits that are not typical dunking biscuits)
The Shortbread Finger (1 min 40 Sec's) Jaffa Cake (4 Sec's) The Pink Wafer (1 Min)
I beg to differ: none of the above possess the necessary design and shape to ensure effective dunking. It is only on the continent, and in particular, France, that it is possible to purchase elongated oval cereal biscuits designed for this purpose. The French have a history of croissant dunking in coffee and the English examples cited run a very poor second.
