I was just going to comment on this. Why don't we celiac sufferers get a rice cracker at least?
Apparently rice isn't a carb in his world?2 -

You will need to weigh a paper towel, soak up the drops, weigh the paper towel again then deduct the difference from your calorie allowance.
But make sure to add that whole project to your exercise calories and eat it all back7 -

Because this lot simply don't care. Not even to that minimal extent to make them think "oh, maybe 'eat raw potatoes' is bad advice".
Giving bad advice is how they made their fortune. Why would they stop it now for the sake of some poor soul that trusts them enough to sit crunching raw potatoes in the hope it will solve their problems?
People like this don't actually care about people. They're too busy counting their money to care. Their heads are entirely too far up their own bank accounts.4 -

Hey. I like eating raw potatoes. Dip them in a little salt and yummy. Yes, I am weird. I also ate raw slices of onion too. On the other hand, raw turnips are really good. Like radishes without the bite.0

This may be a stupid question, but aren't raw potatoes supposed to be poisonous? Perhaps it was just a rumor started by Big Cracker to keep us from testing carb intolerance with potato.12 -

Only the peels and eyes, and if there is any green left over on the potato after peeling it. Do a good job of peeling and remove the eyes and they are perfectly safe raw.1 -

Well, radishes are basically tiny turnips (same family).
Yup.
I love turnips. When I am making a stew and I want to reduce the carbs a bit, I substitute turnips for potatoes. They also hold up better in the slow cooker.1 -

Interesting, thanks! I still think I'll skip them, but good to know

I think there is a toxin that they contain...but you'd have to eat A LOT of raw potatoes before it would affect you. I think the toxin is more concentrated in a green or sprouting potato, which is why you're supposed to cut out the "eyes".0 -

It's not just toxins, they're just not very digestible and can upset your innards.
Personally I prefer to eat potatoes within well established parameters. I love them, but they're from a difficult family and have some issues.4 -

Hey, me too!8 -
I've been eating a lot of potatoes lately because in their cooked form, they're easy on my digestive system and I've been having some, um, issues lately.
I might have to take a nibble of some raw potato when I'm getting ready to cook some up for tomorrow's eating. Just for kicks and giggles.
Oh, and to test my carb tolerance. I only eat around 250 g a day.5 -

I was going to say this too! Raw potatoes and raw turnips with salt...yummm!0 -

I can't imagine raw potatoes, but like raw turnips okay (prefer kohlrabi or radish raw, and prefer turnips cooked), and I enjoy raw onion (especially red onion).
I want to try the hedgehog chips and I need to track down the haggis ones for next time I have to bring something to a party!0 -
This makes as much sense as designing a diet around whether or not cilantro tastes like soap to you. One of the easiest ways to scam people into believing this kind of woo is
1. Pick out something that's physically evident and that naturally varies between people
2. Create a whole mythology around how the differences impact how we lose weight.
3. Make the diet deliberately so restrictive no one could possibly stay compliant for long.
4. Then scare people into buying your products because it's the only way they can ever hope to be healthy.
5. When they fail to lose weight pile a big load of guilt on because they obviously don't care enough for their health to follow a simple food plan.
I totally design my diet around whether or not cilantro tastes like soap. It 100% tastes like chemicals to me and ruins every food that it touches, so my diet is anything that doesn't include cilantro.
That's what you meant, right

Then claim that everyone, even those who like cilantro, should eat just like you.3 -

Dang, I did it wrong.
So, I have to start the campaign that avoiding cilantro is the ONE WEIRD TRICK to drop 10 pounds in a week?
Am I getting closer to how this works?14 -

Haggis does not contain barley.
Honestly, everyone likes to have a go at haggis because it's made of offal cooked in a sheep's stomach. I don't like the idea of minced spare parts cooked in pigs' intestines, but I still eat sausages
if you're going to eat meat, it doesn't pay to be squeamish.
Haggis is delicious. This Scot will not hear otherwise.6 -

More catching up. Raw turnip is delicious, I always steal some before cooking it.
Now back to the crackers. I am concerned about cheese to cracker ratios depending on which of each I'm eating. Now a table water cracker is best paired with a good Stilton or brie, am I crackering right with my ten to one cheese to cracker ratio?
And if going down the cream cracker or wheat cracker, or even a Hovis cracker with a cheek sucking mature cheddar, is my three to one ratio appropriate? And how much Branston pickle, teaspoon? Onion jam? Same as the pickle?
PS. Have fun Googling all of that my US friends.6 -

I love cilantro. On other matters, searched amazon and apparently I can order:
Mackie's of Scotland Haggis & Black Pepper Potato Chips
Mackie's Ridge Cut Whisky & Haggis Potato Chips
Sadly, both are crazy expensive, too much so for a novelty picnic dish.2 -
I was ready to run the test again with crackers, wine, and adding the cheese this time.
Then.....
Uncle Joe's Mint Balls were mentioned! (Darn you @BruinsGal_91)
A detour into childhood bliss.
Only 20 more days and I can start rummaging the sweety shops for some Uncle Joe's, go to Borough Market for some of the best Stilton ever, test taste any new UK flavoured crisps and crackers, and eat me some haggis.
Cheers, h.2 -

Damn, I thought you guys had jatz over there. I wanted someone to do the challenge!
They're harder and thicker than Ritz, probably a tiny bit larger in diameter. We have had many a night when we brought out the jatz pack for this challenge as everyone we put it to scoffed and said it would be easy. Not one person has managed to do it
Eating 6 small crackers in a minute sounds totally doable, but is harder than it seems.
Hmmm.. hard and thick jatz.
