THROWBACK THURSDAY…
BUTTERED SALTINE CRACKERS – OLD SCHOOL SNACK
Today is a fun trip down memory lane thinking about my grandpa and one of his favorite salty treats – Saltine crackers smeared with butter or margarine.
My sister and I were talking about one of my grandfather’s favorite snacks a few weeks ago and today someone asked this question on Facebook – “Anyone grow up having butter on their saltine crackers?”
I remember this being one of my grandpa’s favorite afternoon snacks, along with Cheez-it crackers. Once in a blue moon he would top his buttered saltines with sardines. My sister remembers smoked oysters too. So my question is, DID YOU GROW UP ON THIS? How did you eat yours?
Since this is a throwback post, please share your favorite old school snacks…especially the strange ones. 🙂
One of my favorite old school snacks growing up – Fried Cheerios, aka, Hot Buttered O’s. So good.
I can’t wait to read what everyone shares here and on Facebook.
Thanks for stopping by!
Cheers!
On my blog you will find my favorite recipes along with tried and trues from cherished cookbooks and admired sites and magazines.
Hi Mary, I saw a post on this last week and it was titled as a “New Snack.” Well, most of us had to disagree. Growing up, our mom did something a little different. She added sandwich spread (a thick Thousand Island flavored spread) to crackers. We love these snacks, too.
Years later, my mother-in-law taught me a new thing with buttered crackers. She added them to Cream of Tomato Soup. Yum!
By the way, your Cherrios post led me to this post and I’ll have to give those a try someday.
Thanks for sharing,

Hi Rosie – I saw the post you are talking about after a few people reached out to let me know the site was using my photo without permission (this happens a lot when a post/photo does well – they like to divert traffic to their site). It’s definitely not a new snack that’s all the craze, but it is a sentimental, old school one to many of us. Thanks for sharing, I love hearing all the different stories. So many people shared they grew up buttering their saltines for tomato soup! My grandpa just liked a lot of butter with a little bit of cracker. 🙂
Chesse whizz or brick cheese and melted in the microwave was our favorite!
