Never heard of Sailor Boy Pilot Bread... no thanks!  I do remember the John Wayne crackers we got in our C-rat supply as a military family in Germany... them things sucked donkey testicles. You had to be as tough as John Wayne to eat them. |

You know those old-time pipe smokers who don't put a lot of thought into different blends, or pipe shapes, or DGT, or retrohaling?
The kind of guys who just smoke, and for whom the pipe is just a "nicotine delivery system"?
Well for me, a cracker is just a cheese or antipasto or smoked salmon or salami "delivery system". I never put a lot of thought into them.
(Although I do like Stoned Wheat Thins!)

Years ago there was a company which made a cracker something like hardack. A rectangle, about 1/2 thick and hard. I have not seen them for a long time. Meanwhile, I make my own hardtack.
Post script: "Sailor Boy Pilot Bread". Anyone remember that tooth breaker?
I was talking to someone about hardtack the other day and they had absolutely no clue what I was talking about. I went to 3 stores to see if I could find any and had no luck. |

As that youtube video indicates, it seems that brand of Pilot Bread is sold only in stores located in Washington and Oregon. Commercial fisherman still take them to sea because they are indestructible. Hard to chew, best broken and added to liquids such as soup even coffee or tea to soften. When my teeth were all there, I could manage them with cheese or peanut butter. |

The last Premium Saltines I bought are just fine. Bad batch? I have been dying for some fried oysters for months but none of the seafood restaurants seem to have them anymore. The last I had was at a boat shaped restaurant in Austin on I35 just off 290. Sounds like you need to make a trip down NOLA way. Just went in October. I did have some oysters on the way home in Sulphur. Just couldn't eat everything in New Orleans in 5 days. My wife managed to eat 3 dozen crabs in that time period. She eats crabs just like she eats crawfish, bodies flying everywhere. We are going back in the spring NOT around Mardi Gras. |

Chances are you will not be stuck in your car while the snow flies. One never knows. During Harvey we couldn't leave the house for a week. If we got 6 inches of snow in Houston there would be no food available and bodies in the streets. We may keep a pack in the trike too as we get pretty adventurous on it. Suppose we ran out of gas 20 miles from your house? We keep several bottles of water and an extra gallon of gas in the trike anyway. I was reading that Nabisco made a pilot cracker that was very popular in New England. They discontinued it in the 90's but brought it back after a lot of protests. It looks like they have dropped it again. Nabisco seems to be going down the tubes, along with GE, Sears and other immortal seeming companies. |

To answer your question, if you were 20 miles south of me you would be in the village of Questa. If you were 20 miles north, the town of San Luis CO. 20 miles west, the town of Antonito CO or just outside within walking distance. That is how this area was settled- 20 miles or a good day's ride on horseback between communities. However, if you were 20 miles east, the Valle Vidal is empty of people for many more miles. The village there, "Le Belle" was wiped out 60 years ago. The above does not diminish your point. |

Saltines and Oreos don't taste as good as they used to since they went to the "Healthier" oil.
In my opinion.

toshtego , no it doesn't as we would be coming from the east. 🤠😉 Then you are in for an adventure. Take I-25 north from Texas and exit for Cimarron NM. North of Cimarron, take Forest Road 196, west. That is about a 65 miles journey through an easement on Ted Turner's Vermejo Park ranch where you will see undisturbed wildlife including some magnificent bull elk. After the first 20 or so miles, you will enter the USFS Valle Vidal, often called "The Yellowstone of the Southwest". Eventually, you will arrive in Costilla NM. For much of the year, a two wheel drive car is fine on that forest road. I have seen Mercedes Benz sedans up there. This time of year, a snow-cat is appropriate. It is a wonderful drive. Better bring along that Pilot Bread. |

Talking about the oils, make your popcorn with cocoanut oil and real butter like the theaters did in days gone by.....
Do that, and you will never want to taste the chemically laden tasting crap that passes for theater popcorn at $10, again.

Do that, and you will never want to taste the chemically laden tasting crap that passes for theater popcorn at $10, again. In olden days many theaters were in shopping areas.They had walk up windows.If you were walking by and smelled the pop corn you just had to stop and get some..Really good back then. |
