What's an oyster cracker?

Little round, puffy Saltines used most often with Oyster Stew in the South.

[Meyou]

They sound yum! I love crackers.

[Cat Herder]

They sound yum! I love crackers.

They are good, every now and again I mist them with Olive Oil, sprinkle some Seasoned Salt on them and bake..

The kids LOVE them.

:: What is a Tea biscuit and Hodge Podge?

This is going to be fun with all the different regions...

[Meyou]

Tea biscuits are scones? This isn't my recipe but it's the same thing.

Hodge podge is vegetable chowder. You basically make a fish chowder but use a mess of veggies instead of any fish or meat products. The kids LOVE hodge podge. I throw everything into it. You can save dinner leftovers and throw those in too. They make a game of identifying all the different veggies. I have a vegetarian and two pescetarians so I do meat free at least twice a week to make cooking easier.
