Definitely familiar to me :P I remember raiding my grandmother's cookie jar for those when I was younger :P

projectmommy said...

Hmmm, I'e never tried those. They make an excellent subject to photograph though! I like the texture in this photo, the table cloth, the wood bowl and the crackers themselves. Very easy on the eyes.

Jane Marie said...

Very strange. I might have trouble eating the first bite but after that I'm sure I could handle the sound of the crunch.

This reminds me of a biscuit that's popular to kids during my childhood days. It looks like an ear but only with a pink stripe.

Mar said...

Too cruel :) Are you back in Asia right now? All these tantalizing little bits. I love those. I always buy some back! Biskut telinga ..great with some hot teh tarik..but then so is roti canai...or nasi lemak. I can't wait to go home in November!
