Cracker Wars

Stoned wheat thins with port wine cheese.

Ritz of course.

I love me some Melba Toast! Does it count?

I can't believe people eat those saltine crackers, to me they taste like salted cardboard, but they seem to be very popular. I guess because they are cheap.

Carr's water crackers

Chicken in a Biscuit. Great with slices of cheese.

Triscuits

R1 Those are delicious. I also like Jacobs Cream Crackers and Vermont Common Crackers. -Typing Fatter

Vegetable thins. They rarely sell them anymore since Triscuit is trying to segment the market with 50 new vegetable flavors.

Breton

I like to put peanut butter and jelly on my Town House Crackers, make like little PBJ sandwiches sometimes when I am wanting something to snack on.

My long passed mother use to put butter on Club Crackers and eat them. She was skinny as a rail too.

Back To Nature, Cracked black Pepper

Anything on a critz risp cracker.

R12 Cracked Black Pepper anything is delicious to me.

Cheez Its. I love all of its crazy flavors, but it had me at white cheddar.

Putin on a Ritz

Club Crackers, good with cheese or peanut butter. Also if you put them in Chicken soup they taste like those Chicken in a Biscuit crackers.

Wasa, any variety

Stupid Nabisco discontinued its "Bacon Thins."

Cracker wars!

r19 there are so many Nabisco crackers I wish they bring back including Bacon Thins. French Onion crackers, Swiss Cheese crackers, Twigs, Doo Dads, Wheatsworth....

I love Google sometimes if you Google search the image at R20 Google tell you this:

Best guess for this image: street dance

Cheese please. These are delicious.

Not worth the carbs and sodium.

What’s the best cracker to eat with Havarti?

Town house are far better than ritz

I googled white trash, and it led me right to the image I wanted, r22

Ak-mak, they're sesame crackers, super crisp.

R25, Nabisco 'Bacon Thins' -

R28 These look delicious

If you like the crackers at R1 I suggest the Whole Foods 365 brand. Better flavor and better texture IMO.

R31 I’m on it. Thanks for the tip.

I like wheat thins. They have several varieties now, and their reduced fat product is very good also.

I thought this was going to be a Hatfields vs McCoys kind of thing

r33=Sandy Duncan

Club crackers and Triscuits.

Is it true they use Keebler elf skin flakes to flavor crackers?

I once poked myself in the eye with the corner of a Wheat Thins cracker.

Zesta saltines

Were you stoned r38?

My favorites when I was a kid were unsalted saltines. Dry as fuck and basically flavorless. I could eat a whole sleeve at a time.

R39 thanks Zesta saltines are SO much better than Nabisco, a discovery I made only recently!

Vinta 8 grain crackers

I'm a cracker hoarder. I eat too many of the things and have 4 different varieties in the pantry right now. In high school I used to eat a sleeve of Zesta's when I got home from school for a snack. I preferred Zesta as they were saltier and flakier than other brands, such as Premium (Nabisco) or Krispy (Sunshine).

I love graham cracker, but I’m never really sure if they are really a cookie?

I have had an ongoing love affair with crackers for many years... though some friends chide me for eating them, I still prefer tuna salad, chicken salad, pâtés and any/all tinned fish on crackers. Carr's or Club are usually my choice to accompany the aforementioned. For cheese, I like a Triscuit or more substantial wheat cracker... McVitie's Wheat digestive biscuits are excellent with sharp cheddars. Aldi's Triscuit clone with Olive Oil & Rosemary are great on their own.

Club Crackers go great with sliced cheese. Ritz taste bitter and a bit like cardboard. Saltines are OK when dissolved in soup.

Bremner Wafers, but they are harder to find than they used to be.

Ritz, Carr's, Jacob's, Bremner Wafers, McVitie's Wheat digestive biscuits with Stilton.

Trader Joe's Fig and Olive Crisps are yummy.

R38, that's how Sandy Duncan lost her eye.

Mmmm...Bremner Wafers with St. Andre

r51 Sandy Duncan didn't lose an eye.

Finn Crisp sourdough rye. Nothing quite like them. Other flavors are also good.

Pepperidge Farm Harvest Wheat- but too salty sometimes. No way do I believe the box, it’s like the salt distributor is on the fritz for some batches.

Carr’s WHOLE WHEAT table water are DIVOON. Slightly sweet with an odd thickness and crumbly texture. Hard to find.

Milton multi grain rounds are fab too. Not good if you dislike seeds(has poppy and sesame). Quite filling and larger than most.

I used to like Keebler club.

If you’re low carb it’s all about Parmesan crisps. You can even make your own. You bake flat little piles of grated Parmesan, and they melt and crisp up into light as air cracker thins.

Yum.

Only eat Melba toast if you have really strong teeth! Very hard cracker.

I love anything rye, so I was delighted to find Triscuit makes a rye and caraway seed with sea salt version. Yum! I miss ry-krisp and was surprised they were discontinued, but Wasa tastes just fine. I used to love wheat thins, but they are way too sweet now.

Chicken n a Bisket! Sociables!

Sandy Duncan has two glass eyes. They are remote controlled on the set by her business manager. She’s an inspiration really.

Premium Unsalted Tops

Zesta is the best saltine. I used to eat Premiums but now they always taste stale.

Thin Wheats!

R60 well-done! Almost choked on a pretzel

Sandy Duncan has NO glass eye. One of them is blind, but they are both hers.

I heard Sandy has a glass vagina.

R67, she betterstay away from Stevie Nicks.

I love those rye and caraway Triscuits.

Also a fan of Carr whole meal cracker - it’s great with Stilton.

I’m always begging for S'more. It’s only natural that I choose my Graham crackers.

Triscuit, Chicken in a Biskit, and Ritz.

R54, nobody wants to eat your scandihoovian caribou brains, battery acid fish, or your rye crisps.

All those crackers like Ritz and Townhouse, taste so good, because they are bad for you. You might as well eat potato chips, which are equally as bad but taste better.

r74 I wasn't under the impression that they were low calorie or good for me. They are just another snacking option.

They're hard to find, but I like Keebler's Toasted Onion.

When my mother brought these home from the store, I knew company was coming. I loved eating the leftovers. These days, my favorites are the Aldi knockoffs of Triscuits — the black pepper and the rosemary varieties are good.

I'm nostalgic for these cracker which were like Keebler Town House but less crispy and more flakey.

....

McVitie's Digestive Biscuits? I eat them dipped in milk. Cheese would be weird.

Saltines are good with tuna salad. That’s about it.

r80 Dipping anything in milk is weirder.

I’m having some Town House Focaccia crackers, flavored with rosemary and olive oil, and they are orgasmic.

Townhouse crackers rule

Store brand $1.00 a box crackers

Cracker Wars? Srsly?

hahahaha

Trader Joe's Savory Thins are my favorite specialty cracker. They are crisp, slightly shiny, very savory rice crackers that have a light sesame flavor. Amazon had the best picture. I couldn't find them on the TJ site, but they are in stores.

Kroger's 99-cent "Pssst" brand generic saltines are as good as Zesta, which was my family's cracker choice. Now and then, we'd have Keebler Club crackers in our cupboards.

My grandmother always used Premium brand crackers. Then, they came in a metal tin, not a cardboard box. They were a harder, sturdier cracker than Zesta. I'm not sure if they are still like that, though.

Saltines are good with butter and jam or peanut butter and jam. The sweet/salty thing works well.

Are McVittie's kind of like graham crackers?

Clearly Captain's Wafers are the best crackers, and anyone who disagrees can fuck off!

This thread is just so deliciously Datalounge.

R76 You are so right about the toasteds... Delicious, but so hard to find, I thought they were no longer... especially good with tuna and chicken salad. I have not seen them in years at the local stores I frequent.

R88, McVities makes a number of different varieties of biscuits (British biscuits are what Americans call "cookies"). Their Digestive Biscuit is similar to an American graham cracker, but contain more whole wheat and don't taste as sweet. The chocolate covered version is wonderfully decadent.

I love Saint Agur Blue cheese. What cracker goes best with it?

I'm with R89, Captains Wafers are the best.

R78, I literally bought some of those last night and had one on the desk in front of me for a snack when I saw your pic.

I like the ones from Alabama best. Nothing beats a hanging man from ‘nama. Best of all crackers!

Shit, I thought this was about redneck Bubbas fighting.

Speaking of saltines. I grew up with Nabisco Premium brand (my mom kept them in the metal tin). But in the last few years the Premium crackers have tasted stale, I thought it was just me but a coworker said the same thing. Now I only buy Zesta saltines.

My least favorite crackers are Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell.

I miss Uneeda biscuits. They were the only Saltine- type I really liked.

Another vote for the Vinta 8 grains.

Butterfingers

Tuc... FOREVAR

Stoned Wheat Thins

These

It's disheartening that on a gay board so many of you purchase your crackers. No store-bought ready-made preservative-laden crackers will pass my lips.

I make my own crackers. You should, too!

Keebler Toasteds. They’ve been a favorite of mine since the 1970’s. Thank God they haven’t fucked around with the ingredients. They’re crisp and light. Try them some time. Love the variety pack.

r105 #MeToo

Jacobs' Cornish Wafers

r104 I bought a bag of those and it was all crushed little bits, I was disappointed.

I like Cheezits.

I like a nice firm Triscuit.

I was obsessed with CRAX crackers. Yum!

We had a major bitch slap down cracker war at the orphanage when Sister Buffy and Sister Muffy found out that Father Feeney was playing "Naughty SchoolGirl" with both of them.

I’m a big fan of sticky biscuits.

Sociables with cheese on top

R115 Are Sociables a small niche brand or regional offering? I have not heard of these, but shall look for them now. I've got my faves, yet enjoy trying new brands.

r116 Sociables are made by Nabisco, they are in a box on the shelves by the other Nabisco crackers like Vegetable Thins, Chicken in a Biskit, etc.

I thought this was going to be a thread on the Hatfields and McCoys.

At the very least I expected a Youtube video of two people wearing hunting camouflage pushing each other around at a Walmart.

[quote]I like Cheezits.

I do, too. They're one of the only things I've bought in adulthood because I saw them in a TV commercial, back in the '00s. I noticed lately that they have a bacon flavor, and one cracker I really liked in childhood were Bacon Thins. I want to try these new Cheez-Its.

....

r99 Word!

Nabisco used to make a triangular cracker that had a lot of poppy seeds, I believe they were actually called 'Triangles.' Very tasty, and wonderfully overbaked. Discontinued for many years, alas.

I like the small oyster/soup crackers that Trader Joe's sells. You have to break them up before you add them to soup or chili, so they can firm things up a bit.

I'm a big fan of anything rosemary-flavored, thanks to all for some great crackers to check out.

R117 Thanks, saw online there is another cracker by the same name put out by a company called Christie. Sadly my grocer doesn't offer these. I like the shapes, and the poppyseeds and sesame seeds sound tasty. Going to order from Wal-Mart or Amazon.

I narrowed it down to two, but George Wallace is dead, so ...

Breton Sesame crackers.

r124 I recently tried them but they are too mealy textured

Carr's Poppy & Sesame are very tasty

I finally got some Chicken in a Biskits. The name and concept fascinated me when I was a kid. Not great—crumbly instead of crisp and just salty instead of chickeny.

Triscuit is my favorite.

Archie Bunker

"Stoned" Wheat Thins ?

Avery popular cracker with the Woodstock attendees.

Sociables

I can't allow myself to keep crackers in the house, but if I did I would buy Triscuit Thins, Sea Salt variety.

My parents once had a box of 'Cheese-Its Duos Jalapeno Cheddar and (I think) Pepper Jack'. Those were outstanding.

I know some people like these (Carr Table Water crackers), but I just don't understand the appeal. Totally bland, not enough salt even. A communion wafer is more tasty.

I just bought a box of Cheez-Its Duoz with Bacon & Cheddar. The Bacon flavor is heinous. I'm thinking of throwing it out.

R133 Those are my least favourite too. (Good matzoh has more flavour) These certainly are not good on their own, but a nice foil to salty toppings such as Prosciutto, tapenade, salamis... This brand certainly has its loyalists. The cracked pepper variety is great with pâtés, and double-cream cheeses. The real star of the Carr's line-up IMHO is the wholemeal wheat in the red box. Quite versatile, buttery and slightly sweet like a digestive. Delighful texture on their own.

r133 "No flavor" is the point. If I buy those, it's because all I want to taste is the cheese. The cracker is there merely to add crunch.

R135, I think I know which crackers you're talking about. I used to pick those out (to eat) from the Carr's variety pack. I think they're the brown-colored ones in the rear of the photos posted below. I didn't know you could get a whole pack with just those.

Yes, they are in the assorted boxes R137. They are oddly satisfying. Excellent with young cheeses, but also great with sharp cheddar, and Double Gloucester.

Does anyone here remember President's Choice Butter Thins? I used to buy them at Jewel when they offered these Canadian-made store brands. They were by far the best butter-y type cracker. Made with 100% real butter, no canola or soy. I believe they still exist up north across the border.

This thread smells like mothballs and 27 years without sex.

R140 Smells like crackers to me, and making me hungry.

Good Thins rice crackers, veggie blend.

Carr's Whole Wheat Crackers

My favorite Carr's: their Ginger Lemon Creme tea cookie.

R143 They are my favorite too, so crumbly.

Ritz crackers with boursin cheese. It almost makes me feel classy.

I like these and they’re available only at this time of year for TJs. Bought a box yesterday. Nice with milder cheeses.

Emmy Slattery.

I was on a reconnaissance mission this weekend for the illustrious Sociables. I'm not quite sure if they are popular in the Chicago metropolitan area, and that is what accounts for the scarcity, or they're not stocked because they don't move. I was visiting friends in the suburbs so I thought I would have better luck than in the city. Oddly enough, even though they appear online, TWO Wal-Marts did not have them. (they did have chicken in a biscuit, and vegetable crackers by Nabisco however). Thankfully my host had to shop, and at a SECOND grocer (Pete's Fresh Market) I finally scored and completed the mission. It WAS worth the hunt; they're quite good!

Triscuit Thin Crisps with Laughing Cow Pepper Jack cheese spread.

Glad you liked the Sociables r149

Me too! Thanks for mentioning them. They're thin, almost like a rice cracker, which is nice. They're just buttery enough, but not greasy either. There were only four boxes on the shelf, and I took two, as I didn't want to be greedy, or have regrets if I didn't dig them!
