Made for dunking

If you like Peter Kay as much as I do you'll love his sketch about dunking biscuits.  He should try the dunking biscuits made in Llay, Wrexham, by Cleopatra's Foods. My partner's quite taken with them, and it was fun discussing them with the makers, Philippe and Helen Kalkwarf, at the Hamper Llangollen Food Festival.

Philippe's from South Africa and the biscuits are a version of the Afrikaner beskuit, a twice-cooked bread that is a little like a biscotto. You may have come across the popular SA brand Ouma Rusks.

The biscuits are chunky and robust, they come in a range of flavours and the record for pulling one intact from a hot drink stands at 59 seconds.
