FabSwingers.com forum: The GOAT of biscuits

By (user no longer on site) OP

Having just dunked a Rich Tea biscuit into my cup of tea only to see half of it detach and plummet into my beverage.

It made me ponder as to which is the best dunking biscuit? For me it’s chocolate hobnobs.

Definitely Hobnobs for structural integrity ....... scientifically proven to resist breaking up as quickly as other biscuits.

Mind you I sometimes WANT a biscuit that will turn to mush and can be sucked off all sloppy and lush

I still reject Garibaldi biscuits, even as an adult! Dead flies squashed between to dry, stale biscuits? Nah, no thanks 🤣

I'd probably go for a Bourbon or Custard Cream if I'm having a cuppa, especially as they are relatively low cost too. I'm also partial to an Abernethy, Lincoln or Milk Chocolate Malted Milk biscuit, but only when I'm feeling flush after payday! 😉👍

Ginger Nuts are objectively the best dunking biscuits. It goes nice and soft on the outside while maintaining its structural integrity. If you you allow a Ginger Nut to fall it, I means you've probably fallen asleep.

hob nobs are evil nasty biscuits that attack when least expecting them to. the evil streak is to fall apart.

self control when dunking, never, never. dunk properly or not at all.
