No mocking on this thread. With saltines anything goes. Even peanut butter and bread and butter pickles. Yes, you read that right. Peanut butter and pickles. Loved them.
The Saltine Cracker

My mother was one for peanut butter and sweet pickles, but only on well buttered toast. (shrug)
I've had saltines a lotta ways but I think the best one is one of the easiest: saltines and peanut butter. The secret is good peanut butter (which I think of as Adams). A bit more work but also good, peanut butter with crispy crumbled bacon mixed in.
And a beer if the circumstances allow.
O.H.

Used to eat them by the truckload, but had to give them up. I don’t miss them as much anymore
For me they've always been the thing of peanut butter cracker sandwiches or crushed in chicken noodle soup.
Oyster crackers aren't a huge thing in Canada. When my in-laws go back to the US they usually bring my wife Tasty Kakes, and oyster crackers
Huh, I’ll have to try that one of these days. I have a hard time imagining what the combination would taste like…could work.
Love armor potted meat and crackers but couldn’t imagine putting salt on it. Chalula is good though
Both are great options
Never put mustard on mine but would use American or cheddar cheese
Though you’d have to be careful grabbing the country crock container at my grandma’s house. Might have ended up like one of my cousins. Eating lard instead of margarineWith a pad of cool butter.
Crumbled up and mixed into a bowl of either chili or ceviche.
A couple of folks have mentioned Saltines as cereal, crumbled up in a bowl with milk .
My grandfather would crumble equal parts Saltines and Graham crackers fwith milk in a cereal bowl for a light Sunday supper.
You get both the salt and sweetness of both crackers.

Back in the '70s I remember finding a product at Safeway improbably named "Imitation Margarine." On investigating the label I found that it was composed of lard, salt and annatto food colouring. It was also incredibly cheap. So there ya go; random memory of the day.
Actually, putting some asiento on a saltine doesn't sound bad. Ground pork shoulder and back fat rendered together and not strained, seasoned with garlic and salt. I make it occasionally and put it up in 125ml jars in the freezer.
O.H.
My brother would crush a whole sleeve of saltines into an extra large bowl of Campbell‘s Chicken and Rice soup. It would be thick porridge, finished with lots of black pepper. For me, a cold Coke and plain saltines was a favourite snack.
This brings back memories. I haven't had saltines in years. Fifty years ago, in the Bronx, I could go to the Chock full o' Nuts diner and eat a bowl of soup served with a cellophane packet of saltines. They don't have them here in Germany. Tuc are nice, but no substitute.
Especially if the bologna is fried!
Saltines, sardines, hot sauce. 
I like them with cold butter or peanut butter. The hard part is stopping before you run out.
Wife butters them ... oddly satisfying.

Thank you, this thread. Last night I was thirsty, so I poured some La Croix with blanc vermouth and Aperol and a squeeze of lemon. To accompany it, you bet, I pulled out the Saltine crackers.
Guess that's truth. Be a lot easier to just stop when you run out.
I found a little tool I was working on a few years ago. As an occasional knifemaker I sometimes think up a good reason to go ruin some steel.
Anyhow, a certain kind of folding knife that can be opened one-handed. I designed a blade for it that has a spatula-like end, with an integral bottle opener just ahead of the handle. I put the project on the shelf when a little research revealed that style of knife (even if it's not sharp and is intended as a "cooking tool") is wildly illegal in Canada. Oops.But I found that blade yesterday and realized there's an easy way to make it a fixed blade knife. Might pursue that.
O.H.
But you have to run out to stop, try to run out of both at the same time. Once you get into a rhythm, if you just run out of crackers, you end up looking for other things to butter. If you run out of butter first, then you must resort to peanut butter to finish the sleeve of crackers. Of course, that leads to, "Why is there a knife in this half jar of peanut butter? I need a spoon."Guess that's truth. Be a lot easier to just stop when you run out.
