Graham Crackers

QVCkitty1 — Sat, 06 Feb 2021 05:21:08 GMT

I had a yen for some graham crackers and maybe it's my aging taste buds, but they tasted like sweetened cardboard. Have any of you had this experience ? I remember them having a richer flavor.

That's how the generic brands taste to me

I've felt that way about a lot of the graham crackers I've bought in recent years. Disappointing.

Then I discovered that Nabisco makes a version called Nabisco Grahams Original - and they taste like the ones I remember! They also work better in homemade graham cracker crusts.

If you can find this box at your grocery, buy them! Since the pandemic started, some places may be out, or not carry them at all. Walmart has them where I live. Also Tom Thumb groceries.

I've been making my own graham crackers! Nothing like store bought. Love them!

I also like the cinnamon sugar grahams.

I used to love these but haven't eaten them in years. Don't know about the taste now -- perhaps they changed some of the ingredients?? I do think you're right, many things I loved when I was young, no longer appeal to me now.

In the store where I used to live, I bought chocolate grahams. They were the best! Haven't seen them where I currently live--too bad!

@QVCkitty1 No, you are not alone. The last time I bought the Nabisco brand I thought "what is wrong with these?" I am going to look for the box marked original and see if they are different.

@peachesncream I cannot thank you enough for posting about the Nabisco Original Graham Crackers!!!! I had no idea they existed, but I just checked, and my Wal-Mart carries them, so I will be buying them for my graham cracker crusts. Thank you!

Companies were "forced". to remove trans fats and oils...hench the cardboard taste.

Oreas never tasted the same to me

Maybe some are remembering cinnamon grahams?

@kaydee50

they can be ordered online via numerous websites. some of our favorites are by ASHERS. harry and david usually has them also, at least during the holidays.

Haven't been buying them because of bland taste. Cinnamon grahams are much better. Never bought those dipped in chocolate.

a little peanut butter, helps if you buy some you don't like!

They changed something years ago that ruined the taste of them. I've noticed it for quite some time.

@peachesncream

Thank you for mentioning these Graham's in the red box. I found them at my local Walmart and they are delicious! So much better than the ones I had been buying.

I don't know how old you are, but the taste buds do go down hill the older you get. My mother lost some weight when she got into her 70's. When I asked her about it she said food did not taste the same or had no taste. @QVCkitty1

@KatieB , I suppose it's possible, but everything else tastes good so who can tell. I can live without graham crackers.
