ComputerGuy Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Breton crackers have shot up to 56p in some places; importing, I imagine. I have never been able to find a Mexican brand of cracker that I can pleasantly use with cheeses or pates or guacamole. I am wondering if you've tried anything that CostCo might have, that is perhaps a tad less costly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camillenparadise Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I like Salmas, a baked corn cracker, available at Costco and WalMart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayBearII Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Oh, dear, you just reminded me of rice crackers! I don't think I have had them here. Here, we buy Breton wafers, and the other crackers are, uh, edible but not inspiring. Did I say that politely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcstroker Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Milton's for me! I prefer the multi-grain crackers. If I remember right they're a little less than Bretons also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Rice crackers at SuperLake . Pricey 110.00 pesos. They used to carry another brand that was much cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 At Walmart you can find Habanero Brand who make several choices. We like the Integral (multigrain). Delicious and inexpensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Salmas too heavy for what I am looking for, and I really don't like any flavour of Habanero brand. Bland, overly dense for what I need. But thanks for the postings. I have yet to find a good Mexican cracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been experimenting with making a cheese 'cracker'--grated cheddar or parmesan on a non-stick skillet till crisp. I got started on this kick when I heated a skillet to toast some coconut, sprinkled frozen, grated coconut into the skillet--and it MELTED. Umm...not coconut, it was grated parmesan. But it gave me an idea. Not quite there yet, but you might want to try it too. It bodes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I have not tasted this yet. The Scandinavian bakery in Centro Laguna has a new cracker bread. It has a hole through the middle and is on a string across his doorway. Don't ask me what they are called! This baker really knows his stuff and has top quality ingredients. Could be worth checking out. Those cheese crisps are brilliant in something like a Caesar Salad, and a lot of restaurants use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHILLIN Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 No - this is a new thing, I have never seen before. An unleavened flat bread, round, about 12 inches across. Maybe it was seasonal. It certainly looks healthy - as long as you have strong teeth! https://www.pinterest.com/recipes/swedish-flatbreads/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metuchenmama Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I love them. They are a real crunch. He used to have them in his place on the carratera and it is lovely to have them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ned small Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 It's a Scandinavian bakery and flat bread is ethnically common to the Swedes. I had a Swedish girlfriend who made it in the oven using a large wooden paddle to take it in and out. Really not a cracker type product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeri Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Tapatias, small light cracker covered in sesame seeds, about ten pesos for a roll at the local grocery story ... I like them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted March 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Thanks, Jeri: found them at Super Laura in San Antonio, in tubes. Absolutely perfect. Look like a pale Cracket with sesames, but they are a little crisper and a lot tastier. These will be even better for things like broccoli casseroles that call for Ritz. And the best part: locally priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them These are our preferred general cracker. Buy them whenever you see packages on the shelves because like many things they come and then they go for a while. Lots better than Ritz. For flatbread tasteless crackers I use mexican brand saltless saltines...good for pesto spreads and liver pate...strong tastes are best on a butterless cracker.
