קרקרים

David went to the dietitian yesterday and, after talking with her (in English), received a suggested menu from her, in Hebrew. So I was looking at it to see what it said. There were a few words that I didn't know so, naturally, I pulled out my handy electronic dictionary. One of the words, קרקרים, wasn't in there. Of course, it's pretty obviously plural, but I couldn't find any singular word that it might be the plural of. I noticed that it was suggested that he eat them with tehina or a little hummus, so I asked him about that. That was when I figured it out -- it's krakerim, i.e. crackers! It's always those darn ENGLISH words that cause me the most trouble!
