WanderFood Wednesday: Rice (and) Crackers

Crackers and Rice Bhutan

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.

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.
