As the holidays rush upon us, I look forward to standing in the kitchen, awaiting this fresh delivery from the oven. And yes, every year, I manage to burn myself, grabbing a handful of this straight from the pan that just came out of the oven. That is if I can get close to the oven, as a small crowd is usually waiting in line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This formula is so basic that I’ll not call it a recipe. Feel free to change the seasoning. At the various Bad Wolf events, I made pans of this in flavors from mild to absolute incendiary as table and bar snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once upon a time, back when the world was green, and I had a full head of brown hair, a local supermarket prepared its own version of this that included boiled and fried pasta shapes, which were then tossed with its own seasoning and thence mixed into the nuts and bolts. There has been pushing and shoving to get to the pasta shapes. I’ll put together a quick recipe on this as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to prove that old dogs and old engineers can learn new tricks, one of my younger associates has started to take sleeves of butter crackers, yes, R*tz style, and toss them in a seasoned butter mix that can contain Parmesans, garlic, and coarse cracked black pepper, then roast them in a low oven until dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d take this further and use olive oil infused with chili peppers, like crushed dried Thai chilies or a very liberal dose of chili flakes, along with some herb mix like Italian seasoning. Toss the crackers and roast them in a low oven until dry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Wikipedia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chex Mix <\/strong>(stylized as Chex mix) is a type of snack mix that includes Chex breakfast cereal (sold by General Mills) as a major component.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many recipes (often printed on Chex cereal boxes) for homemade Chex Mix, also known as Chex Party Mix, which predates the commercial version by thirty years. Though contents vary, the mixes generally include an assortment of Chex cereals, chips, hard breadsticks, pretzels, nuts or bagel bites. There are also commercially sold pre-made varieties of Chex Mix sold by the maker of Chex Cereals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bombay mix<\/strong> is an Indian snack mix which consists of a variable mixture of spicy dried ingredients, such as sev, fried lentils, peanuts, chickpeas, chickpea flour ganthiya, corn, vegetable oil, puffed rice, fried onion and curry leaves. This is all flavored with salt and a blend of spices that may include coriander and mustard seeds. It is part of a category of snack food called Farsan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cracker <\/strong>is a flat, dry baked biscuit typically made with flour. Flavorings or seasonings, such as salt, herbs, seeds, or cheese, may be added to the dough or sprinkled on top before baking. Crackers are often branded as a nutritious and convenient way to consume a staple food or cereal grain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crackers can be eaten on their own, but can also accompany other food items such as cheese or meat slices, fruits, dips, or soft spreads such as jam, butter, peanut butter, or mousse. Bland or mild crackers are sometimes used as a palate cleanser in food product testing or flavor testing, between samples. Crackers may also be crumbled and added to soup. The modern cracker is somewhat similar to nautical ship’s biscuits, military hardtack, chacknels, and sacramental bread. Other early versions of the cracker can be found in ancient flatbreads, such as lavash, pita, matzo, flatbr\u00f8d, and crispbread. Asian analogues include papadum, senbei and num kreab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a totally unrelated note: Do British websites serve biscuits? Just asking for a friend…..<\/p>\n\n\n
