I love everything about New England. I was born and brought up there. I wish I still lived there.
I read an article about common crackers a few months ago. I remembered Vermont Country Store sold them. I bought two boxes. I’ve been buying them everytime I place an order. They are addicting.
I would love to know if anyone knows where to find the round, very hard soda crackers that used to appear on the table of every seafood restaurant in New England, along with a pot of horseradish. Of course you could put them in your chowder, but with a dab of the horseradish–yum! Addictive.
I’m going to “reclaim America”. Back to basics: Baking old recipes, cursive letter writing to old friends and using good old American Greenbacks and silver coins. I can’t wait to get this soda cracker recipe going again. They had to do it ALL in the olden days! Also just finished reading about another First: Well, two actually: The Morgan horse origin, and the 1rst Vermont Calvary, which used ALL Morgan Horses in the Civil War. I’ll bet they ate plenty of crackers!
