Triscuits?

Low but it's a handy snack.

The best thing to happen to peanut butter and hummus.

Low, but oh so delicious.

Try a Wheat Thin instead, OP!

Solidly middlebrow

I don't give a shit whether it's high or low brow, I like them and that's all that matters.

How could a packaged snack cracker ever be "highbrow"?

Hey, r6 would be a good ad slogan for Nabisco^^^^^

Served with good cheeses, salumi, pickled fish they're highbrow. I'd say even chic.

However it must be the original version. Not the flavored versions...please.

You know, they've been on the market for over a hundred years. They have a certain status.

I think OP was being a bit tongue in cheek.

My mother, who was high WASP, always served sliced cheddar on Saltines with drinks. That was it, take it or leave it. And not good cheddar, we're talking about 99 cents for a block of Cracker Barrel. She always pooh-poohed women who served elaborate concoctions with drinks, always found it déclassé, but then she thought paying attention at all to what one ate was tacky. The whole thing strikes me as funny 40 years on.

Too many carbs.

“Everything good sits on a Ritz!”

I think it's a tough call. On the one hand the fact they are everywhere and there are the are recipes using Triscuits like pizza nachos and seafood tartlets makes me think low brow.

On the other hand they only have three ingredients: whole wheat flour, oil and salt. Hardly the makings for a typical lowbrow packaged food. Where's my high fructose corn syrup and chemicals I can't pronounce?

R12 - they don't really have two many carbs. Six crackers is only 17 net carbs.

R14, anybody who says "too many carbs" nowadays means "any carbs" is "too many carbs."

They are my weakness. I can't buy them--I'd eat the whole box in 2 days.

I love them with Port Wine Wis Pride spread on top. FUCK YES.

What R1 said. Great with a mild cheese like Swiss or Cheddar.

Love them with gruyère cheese and Dijon mustard but they are too salty.

Served bare...lowbrow. Served with a topping...still lowbrow.

Garden Herb or Rosemary and Olive Oil Triscuits with a layer of swiss cheese on top. I can eat a whole box in one sitting.

But I DON'T of course.

Damn! I was hoping this was an Andrew Triscuits’ thread.

Who eats only 6 crackers, R14?
