WanderFood Wednesday: Rice (and) Crackers

You don’t see this every day, do you?
This was a magnificent treat handed to my group while we were visiting a monastery in Bhutan. It came shortly before a hike, so it was a welcome energizer before hitting the trail.
What IS it, you ask? Why it’s crackers sitting in a bowl of toasted rice. The toasted rice is often served as a light snack with tea and I just loved that they nested the crackers in there for easy pickings.

Interesting snack! I’ve roasted rice to add crunch to a dish but is a mouthful of these too hard to chew?
No, you don’t see that everyday! I love toasted rice, however, so that sounds good to me.
Do they provide water? Because while I love a nice cracker, they do make me thirsty.
how cool is that?
This is always served with hot tea. Gourmantic – I’ve never roasted rice before for a dish and now I’m totally intrigued. Must. Try.
Never had toasted rice before! Have to try it sometime.
Wow, that’s a very crunchy-sounding snack.
That is so cool!! I’ve never had toasted rice, must try!
What an interesting combination; I bet it was quite tasty and perfect with the tea!
Looks perfectly crunchy!
Looks like a wonderful tasty treat and perfect before a long hike!

This looks so good and so healthy!
