Oyster crackers, despite their name, do not contain any oysters. The name instead comes from an old tradition where these bite-sized crackers were commonly served with oyster stew or clam chowder. They were first made in the United States during the 19th century. The small, round or hexagonal crackers were created to be easily added to soups and stews. An interesting fact is that Adam Exton, a English immigrant to the United States, is credited for inventing the unique process of "flake baking" which is what gives oyster crackers their distinct light and flaky texture.
