Imagine having to choose between bread and crackers, which one would you choose and why?

Both have pros and cons.

Bread: It is an artiginal product and has certainly excellent ingredients, but is more expensive than crackers and spoil in less time ( 'cause bread have more water than crackers ).

The crackers : are an industrial product, the ingredents could be less good than those used for the bread that one sell in bakery, but it is sold in packets with the expiration date and list of ingredients, it preserves much longer than the bread and are more comfortable to bring to work or school.

Wait, what? Cracker are similar to sweets or chips over here, typically more expensive than cheap bread. Sure, they hold longer, but they are packed with lots of salt and also, sugar. The former leaves you dehydrated including headaches - unless you drink a lot, meaning many toilet visits. The latter leaves you hungry.

Not that the really cheap bread is that much better ;P

Bread seems far more versatile than crackers. I mean, I'd miss crackers, but the amount of food that uses bread is absurd.

Bread is somewhat of a flexible term, FWIW. Matzo are bread, but still have the crisp texture of a 'cracker'.

It's too broad a term, in fact. I had pita bread today. Yesterday, I had a hamburger on a bun--also bread. The day before, beef soup in a bread roll.

For meals, bread works in all cases. Crackers, be they sweet, plain, or savoury, have more limited sensible applications.

I do love 'crackers' with cheddar, though; especially sweet or savoury, with cheddar, or with salmon and capers. While I enjoy them on occasion, I eat 'bread' products daily.

For Peasach, bread is Matzo, so, it's both. :D

I would go with loaves of bread.

Like said, very versatile. I can toast it and use butter or cream cheese. I can add peanut butter. I can make a grilled cheese. I can add a lot of other ingredients to make sandwiches.

I could likely do the same for a lot of crackers, but that would mostly just be meat and cheese... maybe some dip.
(Oh god french onion dip.)

I now need to know if poptarts are crackers because this will heavily influence my neck snack purchase. (I didn't get a cheese and cracker platter for the party, but I got a few boxes of poptarts!)

I believe pastries are in fact an entirely separate thing. Wikipedia also lists poptarts as pastries, meaning it's alsot a cracker.
