They go under cheese. They do not taste of cheese themselves.

I honestly don't think that there are any significant exceptions to the option, not counting cheez-its, which don't count anyway because the point of a cracker is to be a medium for transporting some other flavor, not to be a flavor in and of itself.

― Oilyrags, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 04:13 (eighteen years ago)

And lord knows what you crazy europists and antipodatrons get up to in the cracker department.

― Oilyrags, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 04:14 (eighteen years ago)

I don't know, what about Stoned Wheat Thins, which are entirely different from Wheat Thins? They are really good, though I guess all crackers are good. Ritz + chicken noodle soup = heaven

― askance johnson, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 04:31 (eighteen years ago)

Anyways, I voted for Ritz cuz my mom always dug 'em.

― askance johnson, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 04:32 (eighteen years ago)

wheat thins will enslave you all. fear.

― Curt1s Stephens, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 04:44 (eighteen years ago)

Ritz are greasy, buttery delights.

― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 05:05 (eighteen years ago)

Stoned Wheat Thins rule.

― clotpoll, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 05:48 (eighteen years ago)

gotta go wheat thins. (i buy the reduced fat ones so i can pretend they're not junk food.) with a good sharp cheese, they're perfect. i like all the rest too -- i expressed my love of saltines on the saltines thread, and ritz and triscuits are pretty classic. i can eat a whole box of any of them, given sufficient opportunity.

I'm probably the only one who'll vote for saltine's...I love them: plain, with soup, with cheese...with peanut butter!!!

Plus...when I'm extremely sick, they are the ONLY thing I'm willing to eat...seriously.

― Aja, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 06:23 (eighteen years ago)

My cats vote for Ritz. They lick little grooves into them.

― kate78, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 06:43 (eighteen years ago)

STONED wheat thins?

I'm calling the cops!

― Oilyrags, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 12:28 (eighteen years ago)

I eat Triscuit for the fiber, it's like 6g a serving, but I'll eat the whole box if I have some cheese and jalapeno slices. That's like 75g of fiber.

Premium Plus with salted tops for soup. Sociables for putting cheese/meat/etc on.

actually, I think by far the best crackers to use with cheese are Jacob's Cream Crackers, but I recall them being hard to find in North America...

― salsa shark, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 13:44 (eighteen years ago)

I used to eat like half a box of these at a time:

― Pancakes Hackman, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 15:10 (eighteen years ago)

triscuits, especially all the fancy flavored ones

― n/a, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 15:13 (eighteen years ago)

Yes! The flavored Triscuits are really good! Ranked by preference:
1. Roasted garic
2. black pepper & olive oil
3. fire roasted tomato & olive oil
4. rosemary

― Rock Hardy, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 15:16 (eighteen years ago)

there's also "garden herb" triscuits which are a+ delicious

― n/a, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 15:19 (eighteen years ago)

I haven't seen those around here, bummer.

― Rock Hardy, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 15:29 (eighteen years ago)

Goldfish.

― kingkongvsgodzilla, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 15:31 (eighteen years ago)

I buy wheat thins more often cause they're great with spreads such as Kaukauna or Rondele, but ritz are tastier plain.

― Granny Dainger, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 15:32 (eighteen years ago)

Oddly enough, a GIS for "cracker pole" isn't as architectural as you'd think.

"mister graham's crackers"

― andrew m., Tuesday, 22 July 2008 15:39 (eighteen years ago)

the old vegetable thins, the ones that were loaded with salt and dried tomato and fried in so much oil that they were practically damp, that was a great fucking cracker.

i used to date a girl whose go-to snack was vegetable thins + cheese whiz.

i'm all about stoned wheat thins and triscuits, but i don't buy crackers anymore because if i do i just melt cheese on them and eat the whole box.

veggie thins and cheez whiz??!?!!?!?

i'm so repulsed that i'm intrigued.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 16:07 (eighteen years ago)

I was going to say Carr's and Bremner Wafers but I'm not sure those count as "American".

― Laurel, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 16:08 (eighteen years ago)

goldfish crackers?

do combos count?

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 16:11 (eighteen years ago)

wtf is good on a Ritz? I can't stand 'em.

― wanko ergo sum, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 16:13 (eighteen years ago)

Goldfish and combos don't really fit my conception of a cracker. Like I said, it's less a thing to eat in and of itself than a vehicle for sliced cheese, cold cuts, etc.

This is because I am wierd.

― Oilyrags, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 16:13 (eighteen years ago)

Like I said, it's less a thing to eat in and of itself than a vehicle for sliced cheese, cold cuts, etc.

oh. well in that case maybe you should check out rye bread.

Rye bread is very nice, yes. Tough to poll, though.

― Oilyrags, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 16:17 (eighteen years ago)

this one candy shop puts good peanut butter between two Ritz crackers and dips the whole thing in dark chocolate, so sweet & salty.

― Jordan, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 16:18 (eighteen years ago)

Laurel, I fear you're right about Carr's. For shame! I didn't read between the parentheses.
