This is not a humorous question such as chocolate digestive or custard cream (that answer is obvious), but a quest to stop my embarrassment, do tell me the proper way to eat a (Jack Hobbs) cream cracker without them splitting into many pieces and their gooey topping covering my clean shirt and lap?

    There are some things which are far better left to be indulged behind a locked bathroom door. This may be one of them (whatever 'this' is). DD

    I shall report back later. OH suggested a bib...... :lol: or is quality an issue? If the pate was stickier it would hold it all together, wouldn't it?

    I suggest what I use when I don't want to wreak a nice outfit! (It doesn't look good but saves the outfit!) A tea towel! Tuck it in the collar of your outfit and it saves any falling food!!

    Or, better still, get Mrs A to have the cataracts then she won't notice.

    PLEASE, what is a Jack Hobbs cracker? I'm familiar with the late Jack Hobbs ( :oops: in a manner of speaking) and I'm familiar with crackers but, both together :? :?

    Aren't you supposed to hold a plate just under your chin above your chest/shirt???

    Little finger poking out sideways too :?

    I personally prefer their Cornish wafers, but have noticed recently, they have changed the consistency, they are almost as crumbly as the crackers now!
    The obvious answer is for Mrs Airwave to hold the vacuum cleaner hose under your chin while you're eating. :D

    I did enquire of the OH about the relative quality of our shopping and who's make might better Jack Hobbs than the firm itself, it was strongly suggested that I could do the shopping then!

    The on-going testing has been interrupted by the two week long intake of baguette rather than cracker, with some mild alcoholic relief during lunchtime, we have now returned to dear Albion, the land of crackers and tea!

    I get the feeling that I might wear the vacuum cleaner over my head if any more suggestions flow across the lunchtime table to my OH?
