About this dish

A saltine or soda cracker is a thin, usually square, cracker made from white flour, sometimes yeast (although many are yeast-free), fat, and baking soda, with most varieties lightly sprinkled with coarse salt. It has perforations over its surface, as well as a distinctively dry and crisp texture. It is normally paired with a variety of savory toppings, including cheese (especially cream cheese), peanut butter, hummus, and various spreads like pimiento cheese, as well as sweet toppings like jam or honey. It is often crumbled into soups, stews, or chili. Some familiar brand names of saltine crackers in the Americas are Christie's Premium Plus (Canada), Nabisco's Premium (U.S.), Sunshine Biscuits' Krispy (U.S.), Keebler's Zesta (U.S.) (both owned by Kellogg's), Gamesa's Saladitas (Mexico), Criollitas (Argentina), Molinos Modernos' Hatuey (Dominican Republic) and Noel's Saltín (Colombia).
