Nairn's Oat Crackers & Cookies


When I was a teenager I worked at a cheese store at our local market.  The best part was getting to try all sorts of cheeses and crackers.  We sold Scottish oatcakes which were sweet, thick crackers that went great with cheese and jam.  

Nairn's was kind enough to send me some samples of their oat crackers and cookies.  They are wheat-free and high in fibre.  Both the crackers and cookies come wrapped in individual six-packs, which is a great way to keep them fresh.  

The traditional Scottish oat crackers came in organic, roughly milled and cheese flavours.  They are quite thick and hearty.  I like them best with a sweeter topping like creamy goat's cheese and fig jam.
