To the editor:

Thanks for your article on the Crown Pilot cracker “problem” (WWF April 2008). Although I’m from “away” and have never eaten or made chowder with them, they top my list for crackers. That comes from a “cracker freak.”

These crackers are always in my cupboard with a back-up box ready at hand.

Realistically, I suppose Nabisco, along with the rest of the world, is based on the theory that new is always better. A large part of the public seems to be hungry for that, and profit has to be the motivator.

Presumably, I think they should be proud of the history of the Pilot, even build an advertising project around it.
But then I’m partial to those things — and it is a wicked good cracker.

P.S. I really like mine with jam (plum) with or without butter — and a glass of milk. Yum!
