Dawg, that's Snack Bread, Wheat.

Second only to Vegetable Crackers, which pair nicely as a crumble with a vegetarian MRE.

Great share as always, Pug!

lmao, I have relatives who were in the military in the 90s and they swear to me that the crackers in the MREs back then tasted exactly like attic dust, and there's no proof that they weren't made of just that
