Ginger nuts win hands down for me. I don't dunk as I don't like them soggy.

Bleuggh - don't like ginger nuts but do like cookie-type ginger biscuits. Hobnobs taste like all the bits swept off the floor and stuck together.

I don't eat many biscuits, but gingernuts would be at the bottom of my list

I like a plain bicky, like a Marie or a Granita

Love shortbread (the REAL stuff from Scotland) but rarely buy it because I can't stop at just one.... and I'm too lazy to make my granny's recipe.

:-D

shortbread for me

my Breakspears had a biscuit factory in Berkshire - it became Huntley and Palmers

They also had a brewery - you can still get Breakspear's beer - they must have been the rich side of the family :-D

DIGESTIVES AND COFFEE
AND I DUNK BUT ALWAYS FORGET TO GET A
SPOON AND HALF THE BIKKI DROPS OFF AND I END
UP WITH HALF A CUP OF SLUDGE,
DIGESTIVE ARE VERY VERSATILE SPREAD WITH CREAM CHEESE OR CHOCOLATE SPREAD mmmm LOVELY.

What can be more yukky than dunking biscuits.
Dear of dear.
:-0

I like Scottish shortbread and French "Petit Ecolier". The latter are by some miracle on sale in Lidl. Dark quality chocolate on a crisp biscuit def. not suitable for dunking.

Serving hot sweet tea in earthenware mugs to your builder is ok but I'd never do that at home or expect to be so served.

Of those two, I'd prefer a ginger nut.

At the moment am addicted to Sainsburys' chocolate flapjack bites - great with a nice cup of tea! :-)

Definitely NO dunking!

As I do not drink Tea or Coffee, I do not dunk

But love a Fig Newton (why are they called that?), Garibaldi and Rich Tea. Ginger Nuts over Hob Nobs though.....

Always have Scottish shortbread in my house but,
I do love McVities ginger nuts and hands up I dunk
the ginger nuts :-D :-D

A school friend of mine said Garibal*i looked like dead fly cemetries. :-S If I didn't like them before I certainly didn't like them after!

I like digestives but I do like to dunk chocolate finger biscuits and suck the melted chocolate off them.......not in company of course when my pinkie is raised as I sip my Earl Grey!!

Polystyrene cups at home is it ithen Rollo. ;-)

The only thing worth dunking is biscotti - into espresso coffee. I can remember from childhood clearing away adults' china with bits of soggy biscuit left in the saucer - yukk yukk :-P

I like ginger nuts with coffee; hob nobs with tea; and jaffa cakes with hot chocolate. :-)

Are Fig Newton's (never heard of them until this thread lol) the same as a fig roll? :-)
