Savoury crackers – butter or no butter?

My wife and I disagree on “savoury crackers”, ie Ritz, Tuc etc. One of us thinks that they’re best with butter, obviously helps keep any cheese on but even a plain cracker is improved with a little butter. The other thinks that this is madness and akin to putting butter on a Digestive.

What does the great STW community make of this debate?

Absolutely no butter!

If cheese is involved, and I would argue with crackers cheese should always be involved, then no butter.

The only exception I can think of: Jacob’s water biscuits with a mere smear of butter and then a scrape of marmite.

Lets just say that whilst I kept the original post neutral, you’re both wrong.

two ‘wrongs’ don’t make you right 😐

Butter makes everything better

What thestabiliser said. Butter ftw. Always.

There is no butter required with cheese.

not with ritz, but utterly essential on Hovis biscuits

Butter on crackers? Really? What is wrong with you people?

No butter! Seriously creamy cream cheese with a bottle of merlot!

Definatley no butter or cheese, horrendous sulphurous farts…. settle for copious amounts of alcohol.

Had butter as child, now it seems wrong.

Butter is lovely but wrong on a cracker with cheese mild exception for English hard cheeses.

Tuc & Ritz aren’t really crackers IMO – much more in common with the sort of snacks you get in big bags.

That makes them great, obvz, and I’d eat them dry.

Cream crackers – Butter
Tuc – no butter ever but also nothing else at all
Other biscuits, whatever the situation demands. Walking with a cracker, a little butter sticks hard cheese to it nicely.
