The fries really are THAT good.<br /><br />@DianeS: Isn't it funny how it's the small things, like the kind of crackers or that the butter is from a local purveyor (Sumner's) that takes a good experience and makes it great?Tinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07230553378930796656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762518953396643054.post-72311237995981193582009-11-04T09:38:20.716-05:002009-11-04T09:38:20.716-05:00The Westminster brand of crackers in your post is ...The Westminster brand of crackers in your post is one of the few brands of saltine (flat or oyster) crackers that I eat. <br /><br />I always loved saltines, to the point of preferring them over chips as snack when I was a kid. <br /><br />All of the sudden saltines started tasting bad to me. This was in my early or mid-twenties I would say. <br /><br />It wasn't until many years later that I think I figured it out. <br /><br />I was served either the brand of cracker in your post or another brand that made a similar cracker and it was really good, like the saltines of the days before the flavor changed. That got me thinking and wondering and trying other saltines and revisiting the old brands. I figured out that the difference between the good tasting saltines and the bad ones was the use of hydrogenated oil; the bad ones have it while the good ones don't.<br /><br />So, I'm guessing that explains the change in flavor of the two brands that I used to like but then no longer cared for.<br /><br />There is another brand of good saltines and oyster crackers, whose name escapes me at the moment, that also does not use HO.DianeShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08886256363470502624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762518953396643054.post-79032956848592654722009-11-02T17:48:11.852-05:002009-11-02T17:48:11.852-05:00sounds outstanding.
