saltine
Crisp baked square
A saltine is a thin, crisp cracker sprinkled with coarse salt, typically square with small perforations and a slightly flaky texture.
Saltines are a staple of American pantries, eaten plain, with soup, or topped with peanut butter or cheese: She crumbled saltines into her chili.
They're considered bland comfort food, often given to settle upset stomachs.
