CLKD - have just read the last page of this thread and was about to warn you that if you're not used to them, rice cakes have all the charm of polystyrene . . . but I see I'm too late! They are useful on a GF diet - if you decide to tile the ceiling to distract you from the boredom and don't mind the seventies look. If you want to use up the packet, I've managed to tolerate them best with something moist like hummus or if you don't like that, perhaps cheese spread. Alternatively, save them until you need to send something fragile in the post, then relish smashing the damn things up with a hammer.
