What do you like to dunk? And into what?

I made myself a burnt grilled cheese sandwich on cinnamon raisin bread tonight (the burnt part wasn't on purpose) and decided to make some chocolate milk to dunk it in. Haven't had that in a long time! I enjoyed it, "charcoal" and all! LOL
But, I like dunking pretzels in ice cream, chips in salsa (or refried beans on a platter), raw broccoli in Ranch dressing, potato chips in French Onion dip, and crackers in layered Mexican dip. Oh - let's not forget, hotwings in Ranch dressing. Of course, there's ALWAYS oreos and chocolate chip cookies in milk - can't forget them either - as well as donuts in coffee.
So, how about you? What do you like to dunk and what do you dunk it in?

I love sourdough hard pretzels (whole or chunk) dipped into yogurt (usually cherry or strawberry)! I love chips into french onion dip (thanks for reminding me!), my fries at Friday's dipped into their Jack Daniel's sauce (mmmm!), nacho chips into some cold Tostito's salsa, and those hard noodles into duck sauce (which I can't eat now, since it's wreched my digestive system!)....now I need to go get something to dip!

The wide, fat noodles are the best! I only dip one or two fries in...salt is more than enough for me! And since I haven't had dinner (no snack so far, so that's good), I guess I'll head into the kitchen and see what sort of healthy food I've got in there!

Oooooo - I forgot about those crunchy noodles and duck sauce. Mmmmmmmm. The wide flat blistery ones, not the fat round ones. Friday's Jack Daniel's sauce is good, too, but I like it to dunk the steak in, not the fries. I dunk the fries in catsup and mayo mixed together. My daughter likes them dipped in Ranch dressing. Good thing I just had some salad - I'd be hungry again!! LOL

I've never thought about what's in Onion dip. Do you have celiac or is there another problem? I used to shop at Albertsons out west, but they own the Acme markets around here. Highest prices around!! I only go there for their 10 for $10 specials.
I don't like raw veggies except for broccoli and maybe peas on salad. But, rippled chips with onion dip - heck yeah!

I'm allergic to corn protien. So corn starch, modified corn starch, food starch or modified food starch are off limits. This means most dips, some of the low cal sour creams, almost all of the puddings, soups, and you'd besurprised at all the cookies with it.
Of course I have a MASSIVE sweet tooth and love soups....

I must say, you have a few really interesting "dunking" preferences. I'd never think about making a grilled cheese on cinnamon raisin!
Well anyway, I like to dunk an old standby: grilled cheese and tomato soup. That would probably be my favorite, but another good one is chicken nuggets and/or fries in either ranch dressing or ketchup. Also, pork in barbecue sauce is good if the meat isn't particularly flavorful. Pretty much any rich cookie (chocolate chip, oreo, etc.) in milk is always a favorite, too.

I can't even remember what turned me on to raisin bread and cheese - could just be that was what was on hand that day. But, I really liked it - that salty cheese with the sweet raisins. Mmmmmmm. But, grilled cheese and tomato soup is definitely up there among the top 10!! That was my favorite school lunch when I'd walk home to eat! Yum!!

I like to dunk whatever bread I am eating with the meal into whatever sauce is on the main dish. (If it is a good sauce that is). I also dunk cookies in milk, and anything in chocolate. Then there's ketchup and fries, salad dressing and veggies. Yes, I like to dunk food as well.

I'll do bread, too. Soft, warm, homemade flour tortillas with Mexican food (beans, enchilada sauce, whatever soft food is on the plate). Indian naan with the saucy foods they serve (torn into pieces, of course). We like our bread with gravy if we don't have potatoes for some reason - not really dunking, but definitely WET! LOL I'm full from supper, but it still makes me look forward to the next time!!

I enjoy all the dunkers and dunkees that you mentioned. Reading it all made me a little hungry. I also like bread sticks in pizza sauce and cheesesticks in ranch dressing. All of it is oh so good. Thank you for bringing up this discussion. Talking about food is always good.

Yes, it is! LOL I've been accused of having a food obsession, but it's the one thing besides bodily functions that we ALL have in common throughout the world! The diet may vary, but the pleasure is pretty much the same everywhere. There are things we all do the same, even with different cuisines.
You also reminded me - I love really good French or Italian bread sliced and buttered and then dunked in either spaghetti sauce or in a really good chili! Mmmmmmmmm. I'm hungry again!

Cheesesticks in ranch dressings? That's an unusual combination. It's my first time hearing of it. Haha. I guess I have to try it one day. But the bread sticks in pizza sauce.

would you believe I didn't dunk cookies until my kids came along. LOL. Man was I missing a lot.
I don't do donuts in coffee because I like to just drink coffee and not eat anything with it.

Wow - talk about delayed development!! LOL
It's OK - I never willingly held a grasshopper before I had kids, so we all learn something when they come along!!!
I love donuts dunked in coffee - if they're not filled and it's just the donut. If I have a filled donut, I want that as it is (unless there's so much dough and so little filling that dunking is the way I finish them). My grandfather used to take plain donuts (just round donuts with a hole and no sugar on them), slice them like bagels and butter them. I can't do that, but he loved it and would dunk them in coffee, too. To each his/her own!

Hehe...I'm not really much of a dunker, except when it comes to New Year's Eve...that's when I get a large supply of potato chips, which I don't often eat...and load up on that Onion Dip....ah...I'm in heaven!

Yes, that is good stuff. Hard to stop eating it, I have to say. But, I just thought of another dunking I like - the kind where you can throw a ball at a target and knock the person off their seat into the cold, cold water! Has nothing to do with eating, but suddenly the image came to mind and it's a very satisfying thought - depending on who's sitting on that platform!!! he he he

I like to dunk any kind of cookies into milk. Chips into ice cream. French fries into ketchup. Chicken strips into barbeque sauce or honey mustard or ranch dressing. Poppers into berry sauce. Strawberries into chocolate. Italian bread into oil. Shrimp into cocktail sauce.

I love to dunk my chocolate chip cookies in chocolate milk and sometimes into hot chocolate. They are so good like that. Toasted bread spread with butter is really tasty dunked into hot cocoa. I never dunked my oreos before, maybe I should try that.
That's all I can think of for now that I like to dunk.

Ice cold milk. Donuts in milk, anything actually. I used to eat mustard and peanut butter sandwiches. Yum!

OK - I was going to answer these later, but then I read yours.
Um.....mustard and peanut butter sandwiches??????? OMG!!!! Don't NOBODY say NOTHING about ME putting GRAVY on APPLESAUCE, you hear???
This just couldn't wait - I just HAD to chime in here on that note. I though - ok, mustard and soft pretzels, fine. Then, I saw peanut butter! Poor peanut butter!!!! I know I shouldn't ask this because in so many many ways it really doesn't matter, but do you put that on creamy or crunchy peanut butter??? Oh, celtic - that is just so wrong! So very wrong!!!! LMAO!!!!
Well, I haven't decided on Best Response yet, but I have to say, in it's own unique way, yours rates!!!

I love to dunk my grilled cheese sandwiches in tomato basil soup. It's so good. I don't like it burnt of anything. I love to dunk my cookies in milk also. These are the only things I can think of that I like to dunk. I'm not very good at basketball.

I don't burn them on purpose - only when I go to see what's on TV and don't realize how fast the burner will heat up. Then I come in to find a cloud of smoke along the ceiling and a lovely shade of black on the underside of my sandwich. What can I say - I didn't feel like making another one! LOL But, I also like it in tomato soup, but was more hungry than I was willing to wait for soup to get hot, too. So, it was chocolate milk for me.
Basketball isn't my forte either - lettered in it in my freshman year of high school, but never made the team. I stayed on as a team manager and still managed to break my finger. I'll stick with the Internet and my cats, I think. I'm safer that way! LOL

Once I read the topic, sports popped into my mind. Haha. I guess I was wrong! -^^- Hotwings in ranch dressing.

I'm so not into sports, I'm always surprised when someone sees dunk and thinks sports. I keep forgetting about bucket ball! LOL
I'm not sure where the last responder got her first thoughts, but she sent my mind racing for sure! Almost all "finger food" (is that what you meant?) can be dunked, definitely!

I like that - feeling complete. You don't feel full - you feel complete. I think I can relate to that. Something that's so satisfying that you don't even have to overeat - you just feel perfect when the meal is over because it agreed with you so much. Yes - that's perfect. Feeling complete. I do like that.

chips in salsa (or refried beans on a platter), raw broccoli/califlower/carrots/celery/radishes in Ranch dressing, potato chips in French Onion dip, oreos/other sandwich cookies and chocolate chip cookies in milk as well as donuts in coffee. Grilled cheese on Multi-grain whole wheat bread in cream of tomato soup, French bread in coffee/hot cocoa. hmmmmmmmm...preztels in yogurt or chocolate, strawberries/bananas in chocolate. I'm sure there is more but can't think of any right now.

Mmmmm - I do love grilled cheese and tomato soup. I like multi-grain bread, too, but not as much for a grilled cheese, although I'll use it sometimes. And, I just told someone else, I love French or Italian bread sliced, buttered and dunked in spaghetti sauce or chili. I'll even dunk it in a really good homemade vegetable soup. We do love our bread in this house! LOL

Well, if we weren't talking about food; I would like to dunk a basketball into a hoop.
But since this topic is about food, i like to dunk oreo cookies into a nice cold cup of milk(I don't eat oreos very often but they are delicious).

I do have to admit, hot cheese dips (heat hot, not spice hot) are pretty good to be dunking things into. I don't care much for garlic, so I've never tried the garlic sauce that comes with Papa Johns. Doesn't even sound good to me, but it must to someone or they wouldn't include it.
