Comments on: “Saved” from a seed http://www.sporksforall.com/2009/02/16/saved-from-a-seed/ Mon, 22 Mar 2010 19:52:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Teresa http://www.sporksforall.com/2009/02/16/saved-from-a-seed/comment-page-1/#comment-2300 Teresa Mon, 16 Feb 2009 23:16:57 +0000 http://www.sporksforall.com/?p=462#comment-2300 I've been known to search cracker aisles of grocery stores for the seediest-looking crackers—meaning, of course, that I seek a high seed-to-cracker ratio in my snack product, not that I seek low-class or even suspected criminal character in my crackers. This was before I knew that one could create "crackers" entirely from seeds! So in the short term, I looked forward to this new vista in crackerdom with far more enthusiasm than raw-suspicious Sporks. But having now tasted the flax "cracker," I'm in favor of wheat-based binding agents—and also baking them. The "cheese" spread reminded me of something that tasted like food, but not food of a particularly cheesy nature—and by cheesy I don't mean "tacky," but "tasting reminiscent of cheese or cheesy products." Sporks was in grave danger of flax asphyxiation.
