Crackers are the real base, not cheese

I keep seeing posts where people build their snack plate around the cheese first. But I think crackers are more important. I did a test last month with 5 different crackers and one soft brie, and the cracker texture made or broke every bite. A crumbly water biscuit just falls apart under anything spreadable. If the cracker can't hold up, the whole plate feels wrong no matter how good the cheese is. Has anyone else found a cracker that changed their whole approach?

And that brie needs a sturdy water cracker or a whole wheat crisp to actually stay put.

Three years ago I would have told you crackers don't matter at all. Then I tried table water crackers with a triple cream brie at a friend's place and the cracker just turned to dust in my hand. I had to admit my whole snack philosophy was backwards after that.
