Cheese 'n' crackers! OM NOM NOM.

Ugh. I'm home sick. Stuffed up and tired and coughing and MISERABLE. I also missed a quiz in calc AGAIN - thank god that's only 6.7% of my total mark, but still. Damn.

...I'm not so sick though, that I can't eat cheese and crackers. So I am. Because Mom bought good cheese again - the usual, like smoked gouda and dill havarti, as well as some new ones. There's a mango-flavoured fruit cheese, and a jalanpeño-flavoured Monterey Jack. (I gather that one's popular, but I've never had it before.) She didn't get brie, though. I think she's bored with it or something. *pouts slightly* The havarti's our new brie.

So I tested the latter and had some (very soft, hmm) dill havarti. And boy, does the jalapeño one have BITE to it. But then, that's how I like a lot of my food these days. With teeth. (Thanks, Taco Time...)

To date, I have not found better cheese crackers than these two:



Kraft Stoned Wheat Thins

Slightly salty and not too dry or soft. They have enough flavour to be good on their own, but they really work best with cheese or meat toppings. They're quite sturdy and don't easily crumble.





Cristie's Original Baked Wheat Thins

Again, excellent on their own. Actually, they're slightly sweet and quite addictive on their own. They don't overwhelm the flavour of the cheese you put on them (even quite mild cheeses), and they crack more than they crumble. But they are both small and thin, and not very sturdy. So they work best with little bite-sized toppings.


If you guys have favourite snack crackers, feel free to share! I'm in this, "let's share random favourite things," mood.

I love that I can stumble over to my flist after midnight and find crackers. Even if I can't actually eat them, it still feels like a proper snack.

I like those big round wheat thin-type crackers. Know which ones I mean? Like with sesame seeds on 'em? Mmmm, so good.

Yes! I know the kind you mean. We don't get them often, but those are good.

Stoned wheat thins sounds kinda funny, considering, I mean, that it's possible that sometimes people would eat them when they were, well, stoned.

...

Ok, that doesn't really reach the standard beyond which things actually become funny, but still.

I've always thought, "stoned" wheat thins sounded funny, actually. I think I asked about it the first time my mother brought a box home, because I didn't know what that meant. "What, people threw rocks at the crackers?"

So it's not just you, really.
