If it's not been made clear before, we take snacking very seriously:
. There were no vegetables in sight and so we didn’t talk about vegetables. We talked about the crackers.cracker!” I bellowed. I was lying, but a conversation about crackers has to be nurtured, and one way to kill it is to say “my favorite cracker is an ancient Armenian variety that, for some reason, I don’t see represented in this spread right now.”The ancient Armenian cracker I refer to is Ak-Mak. It is a narrow rectangular cracker, about an inch-and-a-half wide and roughy five inches long.
Which an Ak-Mak would have no problem handling, because it is a strong cracker. Pile on prosciutto, slather on—this sturdy, crisp cracker will not buckle under the weight. For that reason, I’ve often made full meals out of Ak-Mak, using it in place of bread when no bread can be found. And like the bread I like to eat, Ak-Mak feels nourishing as opposed to decadent. I love a Ritz and other fatty crackers, but they feel like a luxury—they are not only rich but also a little sweet. Ak-Mak, on the other hand, is gloriously simple. It tastes of what it is made of: whole wheat flour and sesame oil. It’s a dry cracker that I eat by the sheet without a second thought.
