idun Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I just love dunking, whether it be cake or brioche, or a nice baguette smothered in butter and jam, or a croissant or pain au chocolat etc in a hot drink.Before I moved to France I would sometimes dunk biscuits, but this goes way and beyond the humble biscuit. What better way to eat an american style muffin, ie a dry cake, which may be full of flavour, but a quick dunk moistens it wonderfully. And I feel sure that usually these would be buttered in England, in times gone by.My friends in England look slightly revolted by this, but, I simply do not care one iota if they do not like this, I thoroughly enjoy doing this and will not stop!So are you french residents dunkers like your french neighbours or OH 's.

Loiseau Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I have to say that I am always revolted by seeing the French dunk jam-loaded croissants into their coffee at breakfast, idun! It may be from having had to dissuade the children not to follow suit.It's a bit two-faced, as I do like to dunk ginger biscuits in tea.An otherwise dear French friend is known to take the spoon from the marmalade jar towards the end of breakfast and suck it - which I wouldn't mind, except that he then puts it back in the jar! } - ((Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Théière Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Around the breakfast table with a French customer as I noticed someone forgot to put a handle on me cup! then I watched all the crumbs and what not fall off their breakfast into their cups forming a sort of slurry which they then drank of all things.Funny lot these foreigners.[;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre ZFP Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I have to admit to dunking nearly everything, it makes it easier on the gums [:-))]The exception is bread/butter/jam in coffee, just not my cup of tea [;-)]My favourite is a cheese sandwich dunked in piping hot tomato soup so the cheese goes a little bit runny - can't wait for lunchtime now!

idun Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 And I thought that everyone did that Pierre, in fact, that is exactly what I shall be doing this lunch time. Fancy foods....... well, I cook them and enjoy them. But at heart I have very simple tastes, and this too is also one of my favourite repas!!
