The outside sticky-sweet-salty-umami outside
was fine, but the really irresistble part was
the assertive but gentle crunch of the inside.
These were like that, too... thin wafer-y crackers, that crunched
nicely...
Hard or soft crunch? I usually prefer the soft
crumbly kind.
one could somewhat lick the outer level of flavor, and then
Hah, the truth comes out. One might even lick off
the outside and replace them in the bowl, and some
unfortunate innocent in the future would be
treated to what was still an okay snack, if one
didn't let on what had happened.
I suppose one might... but I wouldn't have... :)
Nor I, not even as a joke, because most people
are more neurotic about minor health issues.
Recently I've eaten some such that pretty clearly
turned out to have been touched by Portuguese water
dog drool. I didn't get up immediately and spit the
stuff out, to my credit and the possible benefit to
my immune system.
Ick... but as you say, it probably was a benefit to your immune
system.... ;)
The dog, whose paw is sore, came up to me in
sympathy when I stubbed my toe just a few minutes
ago, points in her favor. She has bad breath,
points against.
have a bit of it left in the cracker... they were crisp thin
crackers... I forget the brand name, and dunno if Wegmans still carries them... we got out of the habit of buying them after a while... :)
It would be nice to be able to come back to
them at will, though.
It would.... I meant to look for them when we last went shopping, and
then forgot... maybe next trip....
Not such a big deal, though it would be nice to
know at some point.
