Polly Want A Cracker?

I was listening to an episode of Recipe Club (podcast) where the recipe item Of the week was a Ritz cracker.

A cracker discussion ensued! People are partial to their crackers!

What cracker can’t you live without?
Will only one type of cracker do to crumble in your soup?
Do you favor Ritz? Club? Cheese It’s?

Is a graham cracker not a graham cracker if it’s cinnamon or chocolate flavored?

Fav gluten free cracker? Do you EVER buy Saltines?

Share your cracker preferences and needs.

My husband is a DIE HARD Ritz. Tried to buy other brands and he just goes and buys his own.

I like a Ritz …. Ritz Bits that is with CHEESE.

Cheese crackers are a weakness. Cheese it’s and the varieties.

Saltines only for making the Crack Toffee at Christmas.

And a plain graham cracker has no purpose unless it’s crumbles with butter for a crust. (Or filled with leftover frosting which my mom used to do when we were kids - and freeze them!)

H and I were married over 40 years before I knew he had such a thing for Ritz crackers. It wasn’t until he retired that it came up in conversation. He prefers Ritz over every other type, although he will eat oyster crackers in his soup.

I like Club butter crackers, but the garlic flavor Ritz are good, too. As a kid, I loved a cracker called Chicken in a Biskit and ate them often with chicken soup or bullion. I tried them a few years ago and could not believe that I used to eat them.

Graham crackers never were crackers. They’re cookies and their main purpose is to become the crust of Key lime pie. :grin:

I see we cross posted about the graham cracker crust. :grinning:
They do serve one other purpose, to hold the toasted marshmallow and melting (dark) chocolate in s’mores.

Even in the case of a snore I’d rather another vessel…

Omg I remember Chicken In A Biskit - they had such a weird seasoning! Do they still
Make them?

Oyster crackers for soup, saltines will do in a pinch but they are not the same. I love Ritz crackers with cream cheese and raspberry jam on them, but only do that maybe twice a year as they are so yummy and addictive!

Triscuits (original flavor) are the favorite in our house. . Great with cream cheese and red pepper jelly . And a great cracker in general.

I love buttered saltines with chili.

Wasa crackers, Ritz crackers are good.

Try this. Mix some horseradish with some apricot jam. Spread over a block of cream cheese and serve with Triscuits. Big yum.

Ritz in tomato soup!

I’ll bite :grin: The go to cracker at our house is Triscuits (original). But in the winter we usually also have saltines, our preference in soup. Perhaps we should try using oyster crackers, less messy.

When we have company over and serve cheese and crackers, we also like water crackers and sometimes nut thins (gluten free, crunchy and yummy). Once in a great while we we also pick up Ritz crackers. Or goldfish.

Another favorite: TJ pita crackers.

Water crackers are great with smoked salmon or aged Iberian ham. Those are their main functions. They are bland enough not to clash with anything.

Those are the main times crackers are consumed in my world.
