It's very crisp so it is better to break in pieces so you won't be surprised when you bite it. It can shatter weirdly.

I'm not sure I can eat it. Maybe if I dunk it in hot soup.

It is pretty tasty, and it not difficult to eat. Try either cream cheese cold, with or without jam. Or melt Swiss cheese et cetera on it in the microwave.

It may become your favorite snack.

Here’s some suggestions and ‘recipes’ from their website:

It was really good. I've cut way back on that because: doctors and tests P.S.- why am I the first to give this a "rec"? I hand out my recs like candy on Halloween.

But why on earth is it called WASA crisp bread?

Again, I know that this is simply one more of the very many things I know nothing about, but I always appreciate being enlightened.

While I love to think I'm knowledgeable about lots of things, clearly there's even more I haven't a clue about.

My Swedish grandmother. I get the craving for it once in a while. In Swedish it's called Kiniktebred most likely the wrong spelling

97% Swede, a little Danish, Finnish, and Norwegian. Mainly southern tip of Sweden. But some west of Stockholm. As you can see I’ve had fun with ancestry.

We hosted an exchange student from Sweden. She returned to the US a few years ago for a wedding, and her boyfriend came along. He told me that Sweden had kept records of emigres since the 1600s. The info was available online, but it's been awhile since I looked.

My great grandmother had 2 younger siblings who stayed in Sweden with their parents. I might have cousins there. I should check the records myself!

I ended up making a cheat sheet of different Swedish words. That helped a lot. I did get back to the point where the first name of the father was the last name of the kids after adding son or dotter. I was lucky all 4 grandparents had ancestry booklets going back at least to the early 1800’s one into the 1700’s done by a couple of my aunts. I don’t know where a picture went to of a family farm in Sweden. Probably one of my brothers has it. But evidently they were pretty rich or powerful. The danish in my blood came from one of my far back grandfathers married into danish royalty. Likely one of those I have a daughter and you have money/power bits they did way back.

Furthest back I got was in the late 1400’s.

I have the original contract when one of my grandfathers came over around 1900. It had the full route including the ship to England, then the U.S., and a train ticket to South Dakota. That surprised me when I saw his last name changed when he got here. The document has his last name as Karlson not Carlson. But found out later it happened a bunch in our family when they came here.

Add softened butter. Brandy and minced onion and it's pate and worth the mixing up a batch.

We used to have it around the house all the time. I do need to get some just to let the kids and grandkids try it. I doubt if I’ll get any better response than when I bought some lutefisk. Or some of the Swedish candy we brought home from Sweden. Some of it was good but yeah I wouldn’t recommend some of the candy.

Port wine soft cheese Deviled or potted meat. Egg salad.
Using it as a dipping cracker for a simple soup, like a tomato/gazpacho, French onion, or bouililbasse.
Crumbled over borscht, casserole or in a salad.
You would basically treat it like crostini, Melba toast, or dried bread that would bring a salty/nutty flavor to the party.

My local cheese shop uses the sourdough Wasa’s for sampling cheese. It’s now my go-to for cheese.
