### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tastes Great.  But, buy one, Try one! Then buy the case lot. Try with your favorite jam.
*by N***L on July 1, 2025*

Tastes great. But, nothing can compete with Sailor Boy Pilot bread. The price is also too high, but the quality and taste offsets the price for emergencies. Taste test your emergency staples. Nothing worse than cardboard tasting items in an emergency.This product Tastes great with canned dutch butter and Mountain House Lasagna.Have a Prepper Party with Friends to taste test your emergency items before you invest in thousands of dollars that have no taste or are difficult to consume.Just a Thought.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than MRE bread!
*by R***D on July 10, 2025*

Ok, it's survival food, so temper your expectations. It is much better than the bread that comes in MRE meals. I would prefer this. I ordered some just to taste test, now I'm going to order the case. The cans are useful for other things after you use the contents.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for their purpose, even if a little expensive.
*by G***. on December 21, 2017*

I just opened a can of these crackers this week and have been trying them out in various meals. My observations:Purpose: They are not generally intended for casual eating; rather, they are a durable, storage-food option. They serve this function well, I think. The can is sturdy. The crackers are densely packed, there were no breaks or powdered bits. An O2 absorber and a desiccation pack were included. The marketing material says the product has a shelf life of ~20 years and I see no reason to doubt this. However, I always err on the side of caution and plan to rotate out long-term food storage about 1/2 through its expected shelf life. So I would feel especially comfortable storing these crackers unopened for 8-10 years without worry.Taste and edibility: The crackers are about 4 inches in diameter. They are much more dense than a saltine, but are much easier to eat than regular (traditional) hardtack. Consequently, they hold up firmly when broken into soups and chili, can be used for spreads (e,g, peanut butter) but don’t require a lot of work to chew. The taste is like a mild saltine, with just a hint of the butteriness of a Ritz cracker. However, they are not designed to be a “tasty snacking cracker.” To get that kind of taste requires more oils/fats in the ingredients which would compromise their long-term storage. So yes, if you are expecting the more table-ready flavor of Ritz or Triscuit, these will taste bland. But that is not what canned pilot bread was designed to be.Cost: If you are looking for a regular cracker to eat as a snack, and just want it to store for 6-12 months, there are many options out there in the snack aisle. If you want cheaper pilot bread, you can find the uncanned version and save a lot of money. However, if you want a grain product that has a shelf life possibly up to 20 years that requires no preparation (no added water, no heating) — beyond using a can opener — then this product is a good way to go. Yes, you can definitely make your own hardtack much cheaper, but it will be less pleasant to eat, and you will have to do your own packaging. Nevertheless, these crackers are still a little pricey, so I reduced the product rating one star for the cost.Conclusions: a good product for its purpose. Expensive based on the caloric value, but you’re also buying durability here.Finally, because the nutritional info isn’t easy to find, I’ll include a photo of the back of the can.
