Favorite Crackers

[Max101]

I like chicken in a biscuit crackers.  I have used them for a few different recipes that I have and it really makes the dishes mouthwatering.

I'm with janeer, I absolutely adore Lesley Stowe's Raincoast Crisps! If you're unfamiliar with them, here's a link:

I made a version of these once with a friend and they were delicious. A lot of ingredients and quite a bit of work, though. And now I can't find the recipe we used, but I see there are others online.

Must have cracker: La Panzanella Croccantini.

...

If I was big on cracker snacking croccantini would get pricey.

 

Ditto & ditto.  I like the Rosemary one too, the Black Pepper slightly less; but the Plain one is best.

So - I usually get the house brand (Fresh Market) of whole-grain seeded Lavash crackers.

I had been having no luck finding melba toasts locally, and the online prices seem insane, along with they would probably be destroyed to crumbs in shipping.

 

I shop at WalMart about 2 times a year to stock up on Girard's Champagne dressing.  It's the only bottled dressing we like and WM price is lowest around.  I noticed that Walmart had it's own brand of what they call crostini for $1.98 a big bag.  It's probably twice as thick as traditional melba, but it's pleasingly dry/crunchy and that's close enough.   

 

Boursin and crostini.  Olive spread and crostini.  Tuna mayo and crostini.  Yep.

Trader Joes used to have some small thinner ones but Ive seen the ones like Walmart but don't recall brand.few crumb bits. very  They came in a good sized bag and  I never buy bottled dressing except for the occasional craving for ....Girards Chinese Chicken Salad one. I can make it but donlt keep sesame oil around I use it for potluck cabbage salad w/ noodles. Or maybe my affection for glass just likes their unusual bottle shape

Trader Joe's had some Brioche Toasts for a while that I loved, but they are no more. I like Wheat Thins and Cheeze-its extra brown version for mainstream crackers. But Effie's Homemade Biscuits are my latest obsession. Funny this thread popped up because I just posted about Effie's on Facebook today. So far the oatcakes are my favorite, but I still have a few varieties to taste.

The original oatcakes are my favorite Effie's. I find the corn ones too sweet. I've never seen the Ginger ones, but I would grab them if I did.

Agreed.  But they changed it within the last couple years.  It looks more stocky now.  I was surprised that the new bottle was the same volume as the old, so no evident inflation downsizing.

Cheeze it, Gold fish is my favourite cracker out there.

Oh I love Trader Joe's Brioche toasts too - they are a weakness of mine. I also love the Uncle Saba's poppadoms. Do poppadoms count as crackers?

[Kim Shook]

I love SO many crackers that it would be hard to list them.  I'm NOT a fan of herby crackers - especially ones with a heavy rosemary presence.  Since I am having to limit whole wheat/grain due to my potassium issue, I've rediscovered the pleasures of water biscuits, saltines, and Ritz.  

[ElsieD]

Ritz are good.

[lindag]

There's a reason that Ritz crackers have been around for nearly 90 years.

I particularly love the 'Everything' variety.

My favourite crackers are probably Japanese senbei.

I tend to think of them as snack food rather than crackers! Love them though. 

[ybot123]

@Kerry Beal Good point. I did a bit research and noticed that quite a few Asian stores like here as an example describe them as "rice crackers". Funny enough they also come under snacks :). So I guess a cracker is a kind of snack?

[gulfporter]

Milton's.  I can get them both in MX and in AZ.  Taste is good and so is texture.  Not to hard, not too soft.

These were my favourite but they disappeared about a year ago. No idea why.

 

 

 

Then I found these instead. Very similar but lighter on the nori.

 

 

 

I buy them then in 2.5 kg boxes at a time. Great with cheese.

I'm pretty disappointed in most savory biscuits here. Rice crackers are ok as are some of the Shapes varieties in modest dosages but my favourite for putting stuff on and eating are Vita Wheats, especially the cracked pepper variety. For North American crackers, I was glad to get to eat Triscuits on my last trip.
