Curious dunking habits

Don't ask me why, but co-workers give me funny looks when I dunk oatmeal bread into my Diet Cherry Coke. :hmmm: I can't eat donuts or pastries due to diabetes, so I make up for it by submerging the occasional waffle or roll into my sody pop.

This gets me wondering: what other items to eGulleteers like to dunk? And do people think you're weird for submerging your snacks?

There are two sides to every story and one side to a Möbius band.

Hmm, colleagues giving one grief is reason enough for personal offices. Screw the cubicle concept! :shock:

My favorite dunking combo is sour cream and onion potato chips into lemon yogurt. And yes, everyone thinks it's strange.

I dunk my plain potato chips into cottage cheese. Actually, I scoop the cheese with the chip.

Only in the privacy of my own home, when I am alone, and the blinds are closed:

Any kind of sandwich into any kind of soup.

A cheese and onion sandwich dunked in a cup of OXO.

Any kind of cookie into coffee or milk.

Toast soldiers into runny egg.

There's more but I think I have a psychological block about them. :shock:

BTW, I also like to dunk challah into soup (chicken soup is the best). Blovie always screams at me when I do this, because according to him "it's a waste of fresh challah." Personally, I think that's one of the reasons it tastes so damn good.

I absolutely love challah torn up in small chunks and dunked in my chicken soup, bloviatrix ... it is God's purpose for challah! :wink:

The summer before last, I stayed at a friend's house for a week. There I tried those 'eggo' waffle-dealies.

I dipped mine in milk. YUM.

Otherwise, rather acoustic-tiley.

Remembering this, I'm actually pondering buying some....

:hmmm:

Baked Lay's plain potato chips into tuna salad - crispy, gooey, salty, sweet

“"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"

"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"

"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.

Pooh nodded thoughtfully.

"It's the same thing," he said.”

Buttered bread in Lea and Perrins. A favorite since I was about 10 years old.

Most friends already know that I have eclectic appetites so my snack doesn't shock them.

Shelley: Would you like some pie?

Pizza crusts or baguette crusts in red wine. Bread sticks aren't bad, either. You do have to be careful, though, because floating crumbs or grease slicks on one's wine are patently unattractive. :raz:

My sister (NeroW) and I always liked potato chips and cream cheese.

Mmmmmm.

Screw the french onion dip, whipped cream cheese is by far THE BEST dipping condiment for potato chips. :raz:

Freshmade tortillas in anything, especially salsa verde and cheese. Grilled cheese sand. in tomato soup. All kinds of stuff. One cold, or hot,and slurpy. The other dry. Place together and stand back.

OOOH, I just thought of a Mexican one that's fantastic: soupy black or pintos all over fresh tortillas. There's a mexican dish that's like a reverse enchilada that is too good! Most places call them enfrijoladas.Like a smothered tortilla, I reckon.

A co-worker of mine from Serbia gave me a small tin of pate from his homeland yesterday. One of the listed ingredients was "fatty pork tissue". Yum!!! I dipped Fritos in it and ate about a tablespoon or so of it. Kinda bland, but definitely had that distinctive fatty pork tissue taste we all know and love!

I dip squares of dark chocolate into peanut butter -- I've even been known to do that with chocolate chips, which is difficult but it can be done.

When using chocolate chips, it's easiest to get a shallow spoonful of the peanut butter, then dot the chips on top. Don't ask how I know :wink:

Ciao,

the ultimate dunk 'surprise'...when you first drop one of your favorite cookies into the milk - and let it sink to the bottom (or help it) - and then continue dunking and eating the rest, like you normally do - then. when all done (sad) and you drink the milk, you end up with the smooshiest, yummiest cookie - ahh - i love great endings (but you will always need a bit more liwuid to cleanse the palate!)

One of the girls who works in my office has a flat wood spoon-shaped implement that is dipped into peanut butter then into a mixture of semi-sweet chocolate chips and toffee chips.

She says the combination of flavors and crunchy bits is heavenly.

Actually, I think the wood thing was once in the middle of a Dove icecream bar.

I dip cornbread into bean soup. (Southern type cornbread, the dense, all corn stuff.)

I do dip regular French or similar firm crust breads into other soups and stews but I don't think that is so unusual.

The chips I dip into cottage cheese (and it has to be large curd) are the barbecue wavy Lays or Masterpiece barbecue.

I roast steak fries (the ones with the skins on) until they are quite dark and have a crusty surface, seasoned with a spicy, salty mixture. Then dip them in sour cream mixed with chives or scallions.

lavishly buttered and jammed toast into unsweetened tea with milk.

don't gag but....

arrowroots into someone else's creamy sugary coffee (what we here in Canada refer to as a "double double")

technically this doesn't count but...whenever I have a chicken salad sandwich -once a year- each bite has to be accompanied by a large gulp of chocolate milk.

most repulsive dunk I have witnessed was breakfast sausage dunked into a glass of ginger-ale (which technically makes some sense-pork & ginger)

Life! what's life!? Just natures way of keeping meat fresh - Dr. who
