Im sure someone bought me a mug like that as a pressie years ago. The reduction in the volume of beverage held in the receptacle was an unnacceptable compromise.

Looks a good idea, but surely one requires a plate anyway to catch the crumbs?

It's worse when you forget, get to the bottom of your mug and then almost choke on half a choccy digestive.

YUK not Hobnobs - much to crummmy...... something smooth for dipping - like ginger nuts definitely not a lot a of residue left in the bottom of your mug.

lol you sound like a pro, yeah ginger nuts are nice too, with hobnobs there's a dunking technic not to get crumbs in the tea, you have to dunk quick!

I love the way this thread has moved from consideration of a commercial product to an analysis of the phenomenology of 'dunking as praxis'.

I love you guys, I do.

Brilliant idea - but I saw them years ago in those gift catalogues you get in the Sunday papers.

Wouldn't be any good for me - my fave biccies are custard creams, and they wouldn't fit in (and I would want more than three)!

custard creams need to be eaten a certain way anyway. first you break off one side of the biscuit sandwich, and eat that. then scrape off the filling from the other part with your teeth, then eat the second half of the biscuit.

works with bourbons too

Wouldn't my choccy digestives melt from the heat of the tea in the cup above them? Plus tiny volume of tea definitley sub-optimal in my opinion, I want a bucketful of tea.

Strange you should say that! I usually take off one side and eat just the side with the cream on. I'm afraid I throw the other blank side away.

Wrong.


Biccies on the top would be warmer than biccies on the bottom.

Henceforth, by time I get to my 3rd dunking, I have a cup of biscuit.







I won't buy.

I don't even dunk bicckies.

I do NOT have a kitchen gadget thing happening and I'm not interested.


*Looks fab*

I love it. And I'm pleased to see they do a left-handed version.

Finding a place to put your biscuits is a challenge ceramics manufacturers have been aware of for decades.
