The Captain’s Crackers: Warm Chilli, The Zingiberi Bakery

I didn’t think I could get so excited about an oat cake, but these are truly spectacular. They look great, pleasingly thin as a crisp, blush pink, and speckled with seeds and spices. The crackers have a delightful brittle snap and the balance of flavours is perfect. The earthy, oaty flavour remains at the forefront with a chilli hug, and lingering nutty sesame notes. As you can imagine, these crackers are perfect for cheese and I’d pair them with big hitting flavours such as a mature cheddar or blue cheese. My favourite topping however was slathered in peanut butter.
