I am inspired.
By a biscuit.
A Rich Tea biscuit of renowned lineage to be exact. For those who have not encountered this denizen of the biscuit tin, it is a plain, thin and eminently dunkable thing, not to be tackled by the unwary or uninitiated. It requires the touch of experience to achieve that perfect melding of beverage and biscuit, the transmutation, that alchemical marriage of liquid and solid, fixed and mutable into the perfection born of precision.
This particular pack of biscuits was a gift from a son to an ailing mother. It matters not that they arrived slightly battered, nor that he ate half the packet with his coffee upon arrival. Half a pack remained as proof of his thoughtful care, the empty half a witness to filial devotion and his concern for my waistline.
I seldom eat biscuits, but when I do, I dunk.

Rich tea biscuits were always my favourite before I had to comply with my gluten-free diet. I didn’t dunk though, I’m afraid, but I loved them with a thin slice of cheddar on top – mmm.

All I have to say to that is…why are there no biscuit-selling shops open in my village on a Sunday? 🙂

I know! Even my corner shop closes up early! I used to be the sole rich tea biscuit eater in our house… They were safe… Then I introduced my son, Lil Man, to the pleasure that is dunking in tea, and he became my biscuit foe!!!! Still, we have fun, dunking sessions… The pack doesn’t last long then!

With Rich Tea it has to be dunked. Actually, I dunk everything, Bourbons, Custard Creams and Jammie Dodgers are all fair game just as the chocolate ones are! 🙂
