What's your favorite kwacker?
No ...... not one of these .......



..... this kind of kwacker ......



I love these. They're often on sale and we pick up quite a few boxes of the various flavors of these and Wheat Thins. But of the lot of them, Triscuit Garden Herb are far and away my favorites. I have been known to eat a whole box of 'em for lunch.

's'cuze me ......

1. I have a funny story about that
I thought MrK loved Wheat Thins and he thought I did

so we have a ton of wheat thins but no Triscuits which is BOTH of our favorites

so, no more wheat thins, it's Triscuits from now on out

I am also know to enjoy a Ritz with cheese and MrK's favorite midnight snack is plain old Saltines with peanut butter and grape jelly.

I don't dare buy any Nutella or there wouldn't be enough saltines on the planet for him......

2. Nut thins, smoked almond or pecan.
Or sesame rice crackers.

3. Triscuits, plan old original, no low cal stuff. There's just some
things I won't lower my standards for!
PS I do enjoy the rye ones on occasion, too!

4. mmmmmm....triscuits.....
No matter what kind of snobby, uppercrusty gourmet crackers I pick to go on a cheese and fruit platter (our favorite lazy night meal, bottle of vino to go with), the Triscuits ALWAYS have a spot. I don't think we've tried the garden herb (usually go for original or roasted garlic), but I think I need to try them.....

5. Just the original triscuits, please
I find the garden herb to be weird.

Although for a while you could get a rye triscuit and I kinda liked those.

7. I'm not into "cutifying" any kind of name, so I just eat crackers.
Edited on Mon Mar-06-06 09:55 PM by Rabrrrrrr
I don't even speak "baby talk" to babies; I think it's rude to the baby.

But yes, Triscuits are wonderful - I love the roasted garlic ones.

9. I would start babbling like an idiot, too, I guess, if I came from a smart
culture in a smart geographic area and was then thrust into the south.

14. Some of us who were born in the south come from a smart
culture and live in a smart geographic area. Please don't lump all southerners with the mouthbreathers from Deliverence.

20. Yeah, I'm sorry too for being so thin-skinned.
Apologies accepted and I'll try not be so sensitive in the future. Especially when we're talking about crackers.

12. Do matzoh count?
Because the olive oil, rosemary and sea salt ones are what I eat with cheese. I like the egg n onion ones too, but if I have to pick, it's the olive oil and rosemary ones.

Jacob's Cream crackers or water biscuits will do in a pinch.

Triscuits cut the roof of my mouth something awful; I have a very pronounced torus. Love the taste, but the pain is not worth the taste.

Triscuits. But only the regular type. They stopped carrying them at Costco. Most annoying.

The one in your picture. Triscuits, the original. Every single Triscuit used to be made in Oaktown, but I loved them before I lived here.

On edit: cream cheese on Triscuits. Yum.

16. I'm a Ritz kinda gal
But I've noticed that in recent years, they crumble too easily. So I switched to Zips, the bargain brand, since they snap without going to crumbly dust. I love cream cheese and chive spread on Zips.

Your posting reminded me of another cracker we used to get when I was a kid. I can't recall the name but it's a paper thin Scandinavian cracker. They come in a stack packaged in a paper wrapper. You have to slide them out individually. Does this ring a bell? I like them with sardines. They're so super thin that they don't interfere with the flavor of the cheese or whatever you serve on them. Only problem is that they break easily. I still love them. Now I have to put them on my shopping list as we're all out.

One last one - I love Roberto brand bread sticks. They're the skinny ones.

I picked up both the Italian and Mediterranean Toast. Drenched with flavor and not very low in calories. Wowee, they're good!

25. i'm not sure you can find them, it was years ago in Sacramento and

23. stoned wheat thins...

I'm also partial to Ak-mak flatbreads:

29. I used to be into the Stoned Wheat Thins
A couple are okay, but more than that and they just seem to solidify into rocks in my stomach.

I far prefer the ak-mak's and similar stuff.
