They originate from America. They were cheap and easy to produce and were originally believed to keep you regular.

I think Tim's question refers to the use of "cream" to describe them?

According to Jacobs,there is no cream in cream crackers.It refers to the ingredients being creamed together in a special way when made.
You can find the answer to anything when you google :)

The recipes from the 1600's & early 1700's used cream to provide the fat content most recipes from the late 1700's onwards use butter to provide the fat content some still use cream but not many.

To me cream crackers are way too crumbly and won't hold cheese. I never buy them and thought they were a British invention.

Grannieannie, I agree completely with you on this one.. I never buy cream crackers..orrible things..they do however seem to be the dominant cracker here. I miss crackers and rarely find more than a couple I like... oh for a good healthy cracker isle so I can have a good varienrty cracker tin again. I have found one that is similar to Saltines but they were not a favourite over there, better than creams though. I would however love a good stone wheat thin.

Oatcakes are good too, agree with that one but Katy sweetie..not the creams,I hated 'em as a kid and ate them all the time cos that was all there seemed to be but not anymore. Glad to hearing you defend your faves though !!! Well done XX Jeannine

Aww thanks J, didnt mean to offend anyone, maybe crackers are one of those things that depend on where you grew up? Like Chips and Gravy vs Chips and Salt and Vinegar?!

I assume you mean propper oatcakes and not those pancakes they eat in Stoke... The Water Biscuit is the superior cheese enhancing snack, as far as I'm concerned... Another British Invention, if I'm not mistaken!
