Bread and wine was the original transubstantiation kit. Now the church is global, and we are into our second foreign (non-Italian) pope, there has been talk of transubstantiation for dishes of other nationalities; I know that Ratzinger is keen on a lager and sauerkraut transubstantiation kit for Germanic countries - and latin america is keen to go with Corona and Tacos. I imagine some kind of holy stamp of authority would have to be sought, but God is an easy going chap, so I'm imagining it'll be ok. He has is eye on the far east and the opening Chinese market, so he's bound to ok transubstantiation with Sake and Sushi...

Crackers are not valid for the Eucharist as crackers are leavened.

For the bread to be valid, it must be made from pure wheat without even a trace of leavening or another grain. The RCC holds this teaching even in cases where the parishoner has medical conditions that prevent the safe ingestion of gluten, ruling out the use of alternative grains. In such a case, however, the parishoner may be excused from receiving the body and receive the Eucharist through the consumption of the wine.

Jesus didn't use crackers at the Last Supper. Therefore His Church does not use crackers when it obeys His direct command, "do THIS in remembrance of Me". The only species that are valid for the consecration of the Eucharist are unleavened wheat bread and wine. Incidentally, why doesn't your church obey this direct command from the lips of God Himself?
