saltines
Crisp square crackers
Saltines are thin, crisp crackers sprinkled with coarse salt, typically square with perforated edges and a slightly dry texture.
They're a staple of American pantries, often paired with soup or eaten plain when settling an upset stomach: She nibbled saltines to ease her nausea.
The name comes from the salt topping.
