    Then you must be a dunkery beacon, saly.

      dunking - timing is paramount

      Dr Karl, Karl Kruszelnicki, Great Moments in Science, ABC,, great moments in science


      More than half of all Britons have been injured by biscuits ranging from scalding from hot tea or coffee while dunking or breaking a tooth eating during a morning tea break, a survey has revealed.

        The only time I dunk, solely in the privacy of my home, is with gingernuts. Otherwise it just gets messy.

          .... or doughnuts [they drip on your clothes]
          According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

              There really is no answer to that, save:

              Hearken to the voice of experience!
              "...the isle is full of noises,
              Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
              Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
              Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                Last word on dunking - I would only dunk 'Rich Tea'. Anything else would be disgusting

                    Biscuitomanes are referred to this delightful site which covers, amongst other things, the art of dunking and does comparative reviews.

                            As a diabetic, I'm afraid that biscuits are largely forbidden territory these days.

                            However, I can still savour their beauty whilst in Proustian mode

                              I never "got" dunking. What's the point, I ask, of pre-squidgifying something carefully manunfactured for on-tongue crispiness or crunchiness? It's going to get mushed anyway in the mastication process. So, to all dunkers, to save off-putting fellow eaters, do the beverage in-mixing then, i.e. following ingress, not before, pleeeeease.
