The great cheese-cracker scandal

So I just realized today: There are all these great cheeses here, but a completely inferior selection of crackers to go with them! You'd think that with great cheeses, and great breads, there would also be great crackers-- but not so! There are decent crackers here, actually, but they're basically all toasted slices of bread-- a very limited view of what crackers are. My theory is that cheese is eaten by itself here, or in a much larger culinary context, but not simply as part of "cheese & crackers."

Probably I'm not the first person to have seen this, but I'm obviously the first person whose observation achieved a conscious level, and now I've broken the whole embarrassing story wide open! You read it here first-- eat your heart out, Drudge.

  1. I think you're on to something! This could be a money making venture! I'll ship you Ritz crackers and you sell 'em. We will meet this unmet demand for some crunch with your cheese!
