Graham Crackers 
        A popular cracker touted as a health food in the 1830¹s
by it¹s creator, Rev. Sylvester Graham, a US dietary reformer.
It¹s a rectangular-shaped, whole week cracker that has been
sweetened, usually with honey.
        Along with being eaten as a cracker, they are often broken
up and the crumbs pressed into a pie pan to make a crust for
pies.  Almost every kid in the US has had them in something
called a ³S¹more² which is made by placing a piece of chocolate
and a marshmallow that has been cooked over a camp fire
between two graham crackers.
        Now if you don¹t know what a marshmallow is you¹ve
missed one of the great experiences of childhood!
