That’s more what things do crackers go best in. 
In this case, in is just a lot of on.
Yes, on very, very tiny pieces of cracker! 
Used to get a processed nacho flavored spread in a plastic tube that looked like a sausage. The cap was in the center. Squoze out on whole wheat saltines was my whole lunch many a time. Of course, it’s been discontinued, like everything else I love.
Whole wheat saltines sounds like something that should be illegal.
Who remembers when saltines came as four squares joined together, and the skill it took to spread anything on them without them breaking apart?
Isn’t that the truth! I think we’ve had a thread on that… as soon as The Universe finds out I like a product-- any product-- they stop making it that day, fire everyone, send them home, and burn the factory to the ground.
A wafer thin slice of ham, or a thin smear of marmite, or a slice of gruyere chess and a dab of haberneo jelly. Although my jelly is more of a really thick syrup
Not much whole wheat in them, at least the nabisco version. Not much difference in taste.
I remember Zesta saltines being packaged that way when I was a kid, but, at least in my memory, Premium saltines have always been in the single-cracker sleeves.
Does anyone remember that period when “generics” showed up in the grocery store? This would have been in the early 80s, I think. Canned and packaged goods had utterly plain black and white labels that said “corn” or “paper towels” or something. It was some kind of rebellion against brand names.
I loved the generic saltines in the black and white box, because they were extra brown and toasty, not pale white like brand name saltines. They were great. Of course, they disappeared (see earlier post).
This. But open-face is fine for me.
Easy Cheese!
Yup, the early '80s. A recent thread here on the topic:
A woman at work brings something like this:
colby jack with spicy brown mustard
cheddar with pepper jelly
water packed sardines finely minced with onion and a dash of vinegar or tabasco sauce, or a bit of horseradish sauce
cheddar or colby jack cheese with sliced sweet pickles (and ice cold pepsi in a can to drink)
cheddar cheese and summer sausage
summer sausage sans cheese
butter
these are a few of my fav-or-rite things to put on that cracker snaaaaack
Growing up, it was creamy peanut butter for me - my parents ran a cheese shop for a few years, so generally we had various ‘specialty’ crackers in the house for anything else such as cheese and meats.
For me though, my favorite was scooping up the beans and green chile mix at the Owl Cafe (both locations) in NM with the provided saltines. The sweet hot chile flavor, the denseness of the beans, and the salt and crunch of the saltines was perfect. I’m including a link that has a pic and to sell you all on visiting if you’re ever in that neck of the woods. Have the best (ok, my opinion, but not just my opinion) green chile cheeseburger in the world.
In no particular order…
Sardines, plain and smoked.
Smoked oysters
Chicken & tuna salads.
Cheeses.
Potted meats.
Chili mac.
Summer sausage
In this thread I’ve seen many toppings that I’ve enjoyed, and a couple of new ones I’d like to try (looking at you anchovy guy).
My own nomination would be a nick hunk of a proper Maryland crab cake topped with a squirt of yellow mustard.
White trash snack : saltines with a piece of American cheese topped with a slice of dill pickle.
