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