Ok so I will start this off with the fact that I am from Canada so I have a soft heart for all Canadian products and many of them are super yum.  And some, like traditional Breton crackers, conjure yummy memories of my Gluten filled youth.  So when I saw they had a gluten free version, I pushed the buy button faster than you could imagine.

Well, they arrived, I bought fancy cheese to have them with — I rarely eat dairy so I was excited for a little crackers and cheese lunch.

And – NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

These are not only nothing like their Gluten crackers (which are beyond tasty), these are just plain nasty.   I can’t even really put my finger on it all the reasons why but here are a few

• they are super dry.  Like REALLY REALLY Dry.    Their traditional gluten crackers have a sort of buttery mouthfeel so this was surprising and disappointing.
• they taste weird and maybe even old.   They were not stale and not expired but they didn’t have that fresh yummy taste of their other product.   They also didn’t taste anything like a cracker should.  Never mind a cracker that is over 5 bucks a box.
• they are expensive for a very small box.    Box is smaller than their traditional box and yet even more expensive.  I know gluten free products can cost more but they are getting you in 2 ways with the smaller package and with the higher price.

So these are a NEVER DOING AGAIN NO GO.    At some point when I get more reviews on here, I will do some sort of chart of the YUM, OK and the the NEVER, EVER — for right now, these are starring in the NEVER EVER world as I wouldn’t try them again if they were free.

I will be reviewing some other crackers on here that are better so check back for those as I kinda love crackers.   For now, my suggestion is Simple Mills Cheddar as they are crunchy and tasty or if you want something sweeter, Simple Mills Cinnamon tastes like a graham cracker so since it is camping season, it would be nice if there was a giant one of those for smores  🙂
