One of the finest crackers, nay, THE finest cracker in the land is a Ritz cracker. I have decreed it, thus is it so. This scrumptious, buttery, salted, crispy delight with the scalloped edge is just as lovely a cracker now as it was when I was a kid.
Now be wary….Ritz is Latin for “excellence” probably but do not make the rookie mistake of thinking it’s a dipping cracker. No, no, no. Attempting to plow a Ritz through some thick dip is asking for disappointment and crumbling. You want a dipping workhorse, go get an industrial chip of some sort designed for that experience.
Oh, I’m sure I could look up recipes for interesting things to put on these small slices of baked perfection, but it really doesn’t matter. Anything you might want to put on any cracker anywhere…. you can put that on a Ritz.
But of all the myriad concoctions, cheeses, spices, meats, fruit or veggies one might consider, I admit I go with the same reliable one I’ve always gone with. Peanut butter on the Ritz with a glass of milk.
It’s rare that we actually get Ritz but we’re in a Ritz cycle right now.
It’s a good cycle.
