We get Ryvita over here. It's sold as a low fat alternative to people on a diet though, not considered 'real' food. Actually, I quite like them sometimes but they're no substitute for a nice piece of bread.Crisp bread is staple food in Norway as well, and Ryvita isn't considered "real" food either. The good stuff is either Swedish or from a good bakery.

Quote from: Gareth on October 18, 2013, 08:17:54 AMThat's one I did happen the know (unlike the etymology of your 'cracker'). Here's another; the legal definition of a biscuit vs a cake is that a biscuit starts off hard but goes soft with age, whereas a cake starts off soft but goes hard with age.(...)Must... fight... temptation... Don't... make... pun...

Finished, it came out a bit browner than it probably should but hey it worked. I'll have it with my black coffee tomorrow morning for a historic breakfast

I'll have it with my black coffee tomorrow morning for a historic breakfast Hard tack takes some strong teeth, even if you try to soak it in the coffee. I recommend breaking it up into chunks, adding a cup of water and some salt pork in a frying pan, simmer until the hard tack is soft. If you don't have salt pork, bacon works also, three or four slices diced up.
I remember i mostly used my army ration "biscuits/cookies/crackers" for starting a fire when out of the camp.Those crackers were great fire starters when used with some shoe polish on them.
Mmmm.... expired cheese-like food product.
2 years since I made them. I still have some left, and they taste pretty good. They will still break your teeth if you are not careful though

They will still break your teeth if you are not careful though I dunno, 2 years and you've still not eaten them all. I don't think they taste as good as you say they do. Mind you, I've still not tried making my own so who am I to criticise?
