Pet Peeve

Of course, the Triscuits I really liked for many years, the Rye ones with Caraway seeds are gone. The regular ones are fine, but I loved the Rye ones. The other flavors range from meh to OH GOD NO.

Saltines are only worth buying to use to make fish breading with. And they need other things added to them for even that. I've never really had any with any color to them, or any taste other than salt. But tasteless saltines anytime over Cheez-Zits, or anything else with cheese in/on them. These aren't bad, at least they don't have cheese in them: And yes, the link does work:

Access Denied

They need some more salt, and more crunch, but great for babies and people who think Cap'n Crunch is some sort of hazard to your mouth. It's hard for me to believe such people exist, but they do.

I bought some "dark roasted" peanut butter once. It was ok, kind of odd. Sad compared to Jif Crunchy though.

All saltine Crackers without exception have fallen greatly in quality and gone up drastically in price. Also Sunshine brand has totally disappeared from the shelves only leaving Premuim and Zesta which are neither one any where near what they used to be.
 
I remember sitting on the edge of the front porch of my grandparents' home in Phoenix eating Cheese-its with my dad and my uncle during WWII when my uncle was home on leave from the Army.

Cheese was rationed during the war, and I often wondered where they got enough to make lots of those little crackers. The boxes did say "lots of cheese flavor" then, rather than "lots of cheese." :confused: They look and taste pretty much the same today.

I can't eat one today and not think of that time so long ago...

Agree. I really liked the rye Triscuits. I think that the testers took LSD before coming up with some of the new flavors.
 
Seems like a hundred years ago, I remember one of my grandmothers used to buy soda crackers in a large tin..Bought potato chips in a big tin too.. I don't know who the maker might have been...I think she might have bought them that way, just to get the tin they came in.


And, a soda cracker was always put in the sugar container to keep the sugar from lumping together. Most all the cafes did too.

Rusty,

I think I can guess what you'll be sitting around munching on today, watching the game...

Hot sauce is for fish...oyster crackers???????

Recently I bought a bag of Dark Russet potato chips. I wasn’t sure about them at first so the next time I bought the original ones. I realized then I’d missed the boat on flavor. The dark russet has so much more flavor.
When I order breakfast biscuits I ask for them on brown bread and they’re usually a little more done. Chimichangas I like fried extra crisp with the cheese on the side. And dark meat chicken only. And who doesn’t like dark rum. Just not sure I’d like burnt peanut butter.

I feel fully qualified to comment on the baking of soda crackers. During my electrical career, I supplied the electrical power to run Soda cracker lines, and also the controls to operate those lines, in a couple of commercial bakeries in Columbus, OH.

Hey Chubbo, My dad worked at Filbert Biscuit in Columbus, in the early 50's. (Did you wire those ovens too?)

His Huge peeve is any burnt baked good! He worked the ovens and rolled the racks of baking trays in and out with a big hook in each hand. Someone would get careless and spill trays of cookies on the floor of the ovens, they would lay there and burn until the end of second shift! He would have that stench in his sinuses for days! About the time it cleared out, someone would spill more! (maybe on purpose at the end of the previous shift!) He died two year ago and complained every time he encountered that smell!

Soda cracker ovens

Ivan,
The Filbert Biscuit Co., sounds familiar, but, I don't remember working on it. It's been a long time since I've heard your little town Harlem mentioned.

Cracker crumbs

I thought I'd mention the use use of cracker crumbs, our family makes, by rolling soda crackers with a rolling pin. I like Cracker crumbs much better, In taste, and texture than Corn meal. It's my opinion, there is no better way to prepare green fried tomatoes, than to dip them in a whipped egg batter, and then roll them in the cracker crumbs, before frying them. We also use Cracker crumbs, in the preparation of wild caught Salmon Patties, home made, Meatloaf, and many other of our favorite foods.
