Long have vegetarians pined for a cracker with the same addictive qualities as the dreaded "Chicken In A Biskit." Until now that desire has been unfulfilled.

With the advent of Carr's Rosemary Crackers, however, vegetarians may now helplessly crave savory cracker goodness just as readily as their chicken-and-biskit-eating compatriots. Octagonal and slightly buttery, these crackers have a delicate rosemary scent that explodes into flavor when the cracker is eaten.

Highly highly highly recommended. Buy lots. I bet they get more expensive soon, too.

Oh, and while attempting to determine exactly how "Chicken in a Biskit" was spelled, I encountered the Australian Nabisco site, which features-- I kid you not-- Vegemite In A Biskit. All the addictive qualities of Chicken in a Biskit with all the unbelievable foulness of Vegemite! Eat it and attempt to claw your face off in a futile effort to get. that. TASTE. OUT! OF! YOUR! MOUTH!!! While STILL CRAVING MORE!

I weep for our world. But at least I have tasty rosemary crackers.

I like Vegemite, though I think Marmite (British) is better.

Most misleading subject line EVAR.

I was all set for this to be a post about fat white guys in pickup trucks.

my father's a huge fan of chicken in a biskit, and as such, prior to becoming a vegetarian, i ate a good number of said biskits!

and i can say with confidence that chicken in a biskit is far, far, far inferior to the rosemary crackers. which rule my life.

just remember: you can't have a cracker, without the 'crack'.

Damn, man, look at that range of In-a-Biskit products! OK, Vegemite in a Biskit sounds pretty revolting, but some of those other ones! BBQ in a Biskit? CHEESE in a Biskit! We need more of these in the US.

On the other hand, looking elsewhere on the Nabisco AU site, it appears Australians don't get Double Stuf Oreos, so at least there's balance.

I wonder if they get the US formula oreos or the Canadian ones. If it's Canadian, there's no balance at all.

Mmm. Single Malt in a Biskit...

Though I think the most disturbing =actual= flavor is Crispy Bacon in a Biskit. What, do they have to add little bits of Fake Crispy?

I haven't actually had the Vegemite in a Biskit ones, but I'm of the opinion that most people outside of Australia don't know how to eat Vegemite. They spread it like jam, when you should delicately scrap it across the surface producing a very thin layer. With lots of butter and on hot toast, it's very yum. On in sandwiches with cheese. But spreading it on thick is wrong, and would be foul.

*snork*.

I wasn't aware of the new Carr's crackers. Must find.
