Given the recent biscuit/cookie, dunk/no dunk debate, I feel it’s the right time to educate the disadvantaged among you on the joys of dipping a biscuit (not a cookie) into a hot beverage. And how better than to direct you to this site: NiceCupOfTeaAndASitDown.com.
Lets start with their mission statement:
Well I think we should all sit down and have a nice cup of tea, and some biscuits, nice ones mind you. Oh and some cake would be nice as well. Lovely.
Quite. If you’ve never tried it, you’re really missing out on something (I sound like a drug pusher now), get hold of some quality biscuits (Oreos are fine) get a nice hot cup of coffee (instant is unfortunately better, as percolated doesn’t have the temperature), dunk, not too long or you have the dreaded ‘break and submerge’, now taste. The flavours are magnified, cream fillings soften, the whole biscuit just melts in your mouth. Try it, and you won’t be able to give it up (definitely talking like a crack pusher now).
The site offers all sorts of useful information and reviews, including this brilliant definition of biscuits, which has a lovely explanation for the naming of ‘Nice’ biscuits:
“Why are Nice biscuits called that?” “I don’t know because they are possibly one of the nastiest biscuits ever, perhaps its sarcasm.”
Everything you need to know about tea & biscuits (and probably about Britain too) is on this website. Now, who’s for a dunk?

I like nice buscuits. You have to dunk’em though.
But David, they never taste as good as the sugar coating promises they make….you’re better going for ginger biccies for really good dunking action (you’re getting a really good insight into the sad state of our household aren’t you
)
I like Nice biscuits too. I also hate coffee. Don’t Nice biscuits have more to do with France than how good they are?
Nice biscuits are evil, even a microsecond dunk results in a snap, splash & sludge in your coffee
No, not France as is explained on the site….
