I put a little butter on them sometimes and it's delicious but everyone thinks I'm crazy until they try it. I wish I had some saltines right now.

This suggestion is relevant to my interests, and I have all the ingredients on hand. Thank you for your service. 🫡

I survived for something like three years on butter and saltines. It's the best if you use unsalted butter, and put rock salt on top, but let's be real here–we're just scraping butter straight off the stick with each saltine and eating it like we're in the trenches of the Great War and we don't know when the Krauts are gonna attack us so we gotta eat fast

My grandma used to do this. It really is a satisfying treat.

I’ve done this. It never crossed my mind other people didn’t. You have some butter nearby and you’re eating crackers? You put the butter on the crackers.

It’s like finding a thread where people are going “Try butting butter on the toast. I know it sounds weird [no?] but you gotta try it.” and others “Oh yeah my grandma used to do that”

Isn't that what saltines are for?

Edit: Wait, I read that as peanut butter. Butter is...not gross but not what I do.

Whipped cream. Salty and sweet. Delicious.

Oof this one hits close to home.

Yes. Saltines and spreading some good crunchy peanut butter is a fine lazy meal.

People eat saltines... willingly?

[–] BowtiesAreCool 6 points 6 months ago

They’re delicious

[–] theluckyone 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Add sardines to that, and you'll have reached a whole new level.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

I can't believe someone beat me to it. Sardines, or tinned smoked oysters, a little cheese, baby you've got yourself a meal.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Guilty as charged.

[–] Raptor_007 4 points 6 months ago

I do this, but with graham crackers instead.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

when you get sick and you can finally justify eating sleeve of saltines 😋
