Default Snack-a-jacks

Like my earlier yoghurt thread (thanks for all the replies!), I am on the hunt for something similar to the UK Snack-a-jacks.

They were (in relative terms) a much healthier alternative to crisps (are they chips or chippies over here...? Haven't worked that one out yet....) for those inter-meal snack emergencies.

You can get various rice cakes here, but they are not the same IMO.

We eat the Sakata brand rice crackers when we're in the mood for a nibble. The saturated fat content is much lower than crisps and there are lots of different flavours. I can't however recommend the wasabi, soy and ginger version - very artificial.

I can also recommend Abe's Bagel Crisps. They're found in the crisps aisle of our New World and the saturated fat content is around 1.5%.
