I was wondering what exactly are soda crackers? Are they your normal
saltine crackers. I have a recipe to make mock apple pie and it calls for
soda crackers and I am not sure what to use. Any help will be appreciated.

Yes, saltines. They used to be called soda crackers because they are
made with baking soda. You might want to use the unsalted kind for a
pie.

Soda crackers are ordinary saltines.

But this is much better:

As I recall, the mock apple pie recipe is supposed to use Ritz
crackers (round, buttery snack crackers).

In all the recipes I've seen, you substitute soda (saltine) or Ritz crackers
for the fruit. Ritz makes the best Mock Apple, in my experience.

Bummer. Why do vegetarians get all these faux chicken, mock hot
dogs, soyriso, etc... but we carnivores can't get apples and
oranges made from fish and cow?

It's not fair, and so un-PC.

Just the other day I had a mock soyburger; 80/20 ground beef, fresh ground
pepper, half-pinch of salt - all loosely formed into a patty to simulate
compressed, textured soy protien and cooked in a grill pan to fake the marks
like the ones branded onto a real soyburger. I gotta say; this fake
soyburger was so much better than those from the frozen food aisle at
Mega-Mart.

Oh, purists - don't worry, I know that usin' a grill pan ain't gillin', it's
fryin' - I don't care. I like using it 'cause it makes pretty marks and
channels away excess fat/water/whatever that might exit the item being
cooked. For my Mock Soyburger, I put a thick onion slice downstream of the
burger and the fat rolled down the ridges and under the onion slice to cook
it and impart that great mock soyburger flavor.

For the humor impaired; my tongue is firmly in (my own) cheek. One of the
upper cheeks, thank you.
