just curious though, wonder why some people are in the habit of dipping bread into their tea?

Yes back then when my Bro did it, I always gave the EWWWWWW sign
but recently the satisfaction i get from dipping my bread into tea is inexplicable
I'm a tea lover and drink hot tea in a hot afternoon back in naija i just love it

Bread, butter, and tea, yummy!!

If you are eating bread and drinking tea (hot chocolate/bornvita/milo) and you have not yet dunk the bread into the tea then you are missing alot. The sweetness cannot be explained.

any style u like.i still do it sometimes.guess its kinda sweeter that way

Very sweet,not 2 talk of adding some mayonaise too.if u've not tasted dis b4,den u've missed a lot.

[size=13pt]^{Likewise i don't do that thing. . . . honestly , whenever i see people deep bread inside a whole mug of tea i feel so irritated ! --- It doesn't really work like that well . I prefer drinking my tea and eating the bread separately} [/size]

iice:

I do not like dunking the bread. Never have and up till now, i still don't like it. Seems to be the way i am with alot of things.
My brothers love it especially when the drink the tea and there's soggy bread at the bottom of the cup. Eww.
I eat my bread and then sip the tea. No soggy bits in my tea

If the bread has a thick texture it doesnt break off in the tea. Even if it does, its all good.

I even dip agege bread in water sometimes- really brings out the taste.

@OP

As a child, I used to dip my bread into my tea because I saw other kids and some adults doing it that way. By the time I turned 13, I was told by my older sibling that it is not a good eating habit to dunk your bread into your tea. So I had to get rid of that habit of dunking bread into tea. Now an adult, I chew my bread and then wash it down with my tea. I think its more enjoyable that way.

dunking bread in private is ok. Doing it in public is not.

same thing applies to eating an orange. With curtains drawn, doors locked and nobody there, eat the whole thing including the juicy inside (not the peel though).

When in public, or if other people are present, just suck the juice only and throw away the fiber.

ve anyone tried soaking cabin biscuit in tea?  its sooooooo yummy  wen i was in boarding sch we cal it "biscuit flakes"

@ronkebp,  thanks for the recipe

You deep the bread in the tea or you the deep the tea on the bread or eat both independently whats the difference? In as much as both tea and bread goes into the stomach. Abi your tommy fit diffrentiate when tea or bread comes in? "Anyhow is a how" Mtchewwwws.

BECAUSE IT IS AGAINST TABLE MANNERS, SO YOU FEEL REBELLIOUS AGAINST RULES PLEASE DO NOT STOP DRINKING TEA. THAT'S ONE OF THE NUMEROUS GOOD THINGS THE BRITISH BROUGHT TO NAIRALAND VERY RICH IN ANTI-OXIDANTS FIGHTS OFF DISEASES

However you want it rocks for you. If you are so cool with dunking bread in tea, then feel free to do it in a 5star restaurant.

dunking bread in tea is just nasty, EWWWWWWW. talking about it is even giving me goosebumps. I never did it as a kid and i sure as heck ain't doing it now.
Quick question for those who do it- do you still chew the bread after dipping it in the tea?

biscuit flakes(whether with milk n sugar or tea) is the ishhhhhhhh! you guys should try it.

My dear, am glad you liked it, the taste cannot be mistaken, love it to pieces.

I’m doing some research to understand tea drinking in Nigeria – would anyone be able to help me by answering 3 questions over the phone or email? As a consumer, or an observer (if you don't drink tea!)

Your help would be very beneficial for my research – I do hope you will oblige me and look forward to hearing from you!

I have been involved in regional tea research (http://www.island.lk/2010/02/03/business3.html and http://www.dailynews.lk/2012/08/20/bus09.asp) and am looking to understand a bit more about tea drinking in Nigeria.

My email address is - yusuf@mtiworldwide.com. Thank you!

It the best
