Can I buy these in Basel? I have checked Globus and they don't have them. I would like to try some of the cheeses here but would only do so if I can get the neutral taste crackers to eat the cheese off.

Try Fenwicks Feinkost, near Spalentor. They're an English import shop, lots of good stuff in there. Their website is terrible, though, but I've been in and they've got the stuff you're looking for, or close to it.

most of the larger coops in Basel have Jacobs crackers, but Globus/Fenwicks have other brands of water biscults not owned by Philip Morris....

We've got the Jakob's selection pack and the Carr's Table Water Biscuits...look here!

I think I've also seen Jakob's Cream Crackers in Coop before. Maybe only in the big Coop Shops.

Manor have Jacobs. The also sell matzoes which I like with cheese.

Cheers,
Nick

I'll second the notion that Jacobs cream crackers are indeed to be found in larger branches of Coop.
