Err -30 is not good enough for Timmins.
So, inspired by your earlier post about Swedish crackers, I decided to finally visit the Ikea very close by. I saw they have a little food mart in their stores. I picked up knakebrod crackers, thin ginger cookies and a white chocolate bar w/ raspberry filling. The crackers are...ok. I figured they would be very plain and dry. They are. I guess I am spoiled by salty American adulterated food lol. I put some salt on them with salami and cheese, not bad. The cookies and candy bar are phenomenal.
Yes, they're very plain. What makes them interesting is they let the topping shine, and adds a subtle flavor and a not so subtle texture. Top your cheese and salami off with a hot English or Irish mustard and you have a king's snack. I also like them crumbled into soup. Not as much as oyster crackers, but they add a different flavor and consistency that's a nice change on occasion. They get mushy pretty quick in soup, but in something like tomato soup, it bulks it up a bit, and adds an interesting flavor.The crackers are...ok. I figured they would be very plain and dry.

So, get water biscuits? I like Jamaican Excelsior.Yes, they're very plain. What makes them interesting is they let the topping shine, and adds a subtle flavor and a not so subtle texture.

Originally, my purchase was for something I can wear in the office and out on the town, and depending on how these look, aside from the sole, they might still fit the bill. I'll have to check them out to see how they look in person. Should be getting them Wednesday.
Edit: I'm also now looking at some Redwing Iron Rangers:
