Is this local to us in SE Wales or is there a world shortage of cream crackers? Not just own brand, but real Kacobs ones too. Managed to buy a single packet which was hiding at the back of a shelf about 4 weeks ago but for weeks before and ever since then I have not seen another pack. Not in Aldi, Lidl, Asda, Morrisons or Waitrose!
Are they, perhaps, the new toilet roll?
They're all in my kitchen cupboard here on the Amman Riviera
Mrs A has a particular penchant for the squares of tasteless compacted dust. Yukky things.
Ah, interesting, we were in M&S food last week and they had no cream crackers.
Are they the new bog roll?
(Don't wipe your bum with cream crackers kids...)
Might still be a supply restriction from the general strike at the factory that ended a couple of weeks ago.
Plenty of my favourites in Aldi today.
I’ll need them given the absolutely ludicrous amount of cheese I bought from the cheese shop on Bury market this afternoon
You can never have too much cheese 😃
My mum has said the same thing, none to be found in Abergavenny, Brecon or Ebbw Vale for the last few weeks. I've bought her a few packs form Bristol so that's christmas saved 🤣
Binners, for once, speaks much truth.
Thanks for the link tthew, I hadn't realised that was the case. Obvious really in light of that information. Let us hope they get back to normal service soon then.
EDIT: And I am firmly in agreement with Binners on this one, but Mrs WF doesn't like those fancy crackers or anything even slightly oily. Can only be bone-dry cream crackers for her! I am only after a quiet life, just like every other man in this world.
My wife mentioned an absence of packs of 'biscuits for cheese' the last couple of times she's looked in our local Sains. Which would have a fair cracker content obviously. So, yes, that makes sense now.
Non in Aldi loads in sainsburys round my way wife pick up 3 packets as she loves them

Well, they’re handy for soaking up spills in the kitchen. Otherwise it takes most of a block of butter to make the damn things edible, plus about a quarter of a pound of cheese.
We got two* packets of *barbers* cream crackers at Tesco at weekend..... Most were out of stock.
*Don't get too mad .....on opening they were mostly all broke ....

^^^^^ lol
I NEVER buy fancy cheese. Just a bit of cheddar and some Gouda slices. Was running round the supermarket tonight just grabbing a few veggies and some bread to last over Xmas when I suddenly found myself in the cheese aisle. And then, without warning, I had a lump of Manchego, some mature Comte, a spicy cheddar, a mature stilton, and some posh looking Wensleydale with cranberry. Not sure really now it happened to be honest. So I did what any sensible person would do and bought a nice bottle of LBV Port too 🙂
Think I've got about 7 breeds of cheese in the fridge. I probably ought to get more, just in case.

Absolutely spot on, they are amazing!
Cowboys nicked them all. 😉

However, your wife is correct - bone-dry crackers are best 😉. None to be had in Edinburgh recently.
There's some kind of forfit game squadies allegedly play involving cream crackers. But I really don't want to lower the tone so I'll keep it to myself 🙂

If you subscribe to the Courtyard Dairy (warning cheese heaven), they send crackers to eat the cheese with. For me it’s Carr’s salt and pepper flatbreads. They’re like crack in our house and I have a special box that holds four packets airtight. Humous consumption will rise in line with cheese consumption if you let this gateway drug in the house. You’ve been warned.

I resemble both those pictures above. Really loving aged Gouda at the moment and the rosemary version of the cracked black pepper crackers. I find they are all identical whether from Lidl, Aldi or ASDA.
I'll check the office tomorrow before closing up, we had our Christmas do last week and there is bound to be a pack left. Had to get them delivered from Merthyr 😄
More cheese, more crackers… let’s get serious… ‘tis the season…
Welshfarmer is correct. They are the new toilet rolls. All they are fit for but a bit stiff and crumbly for the final polishing. Would probably taste better after being used for this purpose.

Probably a bit late for this year. But you may find some in Farm Shops or Deli.
They’re pretty good, but I would say that because I make them!
Plenty of stock in the bakery!
Shortage in west wales too. Problem getting decent smoked cheese for the christmas hoard too.
@welshfarmer I found them.
I'm in Hay tomorrow as well.
Or £20 to the first bidder if they are the new toilet roll (seem a bit scratchy to me).

I'm failing to see the problem with anything that 'forces' me to eat a thick slather of proper butter and massive chunks of cheese. Preferably of several varieties.
I've got a nice Cropwell Bishop stilton, a good unpasteurised cheddar (can't remember which one), just the one Camembert and some good goats' cheese ready to go. I may need some more. 😀

Damn you! Well actually no, that website is going to fill the rest of my working day. 😀
Loads in M&S this lunchtime

Ah soggy soggy biscuit , fun for all the family.
Or possibly not 🙂
Didn't think it was limited to PSB's thou.
I'm partial to a Ritz or the delicacy they have here of really thick crisps that you lather with your cheese of choice.
We bought some at [ASDA|Tesco?] at the weekend. There weren't many left, on a near-empty shelf there was a couple of sorry-looking packs of the regular ones and a stack of the Jacob's selection box affairs where you pay twice the price for half as much (AKA the Schwarz Spices Pricing Model).

No, I'm sure it's crackers.
If we're talking dream cheese combinations then thinly sliced Morrisons salt and pepper baguette (or crack cocaine bread as its known in our house), and dolcelatte or any blue cheese
You can thank me later
The holy grail is when they've just taken it out of the oven and its still warm
Mrs 750 has just informed me that we have 2 boxes of crackers in the Xmas stash
I have crackers! Not the ones I ordered on my online shop, but they will have to do. No fricking potatoes though and we have completely run out. It may end up as frozen French fries with Christmas dinner at this rate FFS.

There are 2 more shopping days.
The world hasn't run dry of potatoes. Just means you'll have to go old school and visit a shop.
We needed ham hock for soup....got a large finest gammon substitute.....no complaints here. That's new year sorted.
Never mind the crackers what the shitting hell has happened to selection boxes?!
There is heehaw choice and in the only one I could find there were 2 dairy milks!
@binners, you wash your mouth out - thinly sliced??? Sort yourself, laddie!
Haven't been able to get bog standard cream crackers on the Tesco shop for several weeks.
