New Food Critique #1

Roaming through Wal-Mart tonight.... trying to remember what was on my list that I forgot for the SECOND time today, I decided to try a few new foods. Inspired by my dearest Lesley, I picked out a new cheese :) And in looking for donuts, I found a pastry to try too.

Prosciutto Panino
Prosciutto Rolled in Mozzarella Cheese

I'm not too thrilled by it, but it's not horrible. When I think of prosciutto, I think of a salty and strong tasting ham, but this stuff fails to live up to my expectations. The mozzarella is good, but no better than the string cheese you can find in the store. The cheese totally overpowers the ham, and you really can't tell it's even there. Overall, it's not too bad if you want a snack cheese, and it slices well.

Hey look, I even found a picture:



Mini Quesitos with Cream Cheese

Basically it's a croissant roll stuffed with a cream cheese mixture, and then rolled in sugar and I guess baked? They remind me a lot of the cream cheese stuffed croissants I used to get at coffee shop in the union at the UofA (the name of which is totally escaping me at the moment).

Totally yummy, but I'm not sure why they're called quesitos. To me that indicates a spanish/hispanic influence, but none of those ingredients are really what I think of when I think of food for that culture...

I'd give them two thumbs up, but I'm licking the sugar off one thumb, lol.

UPDATE: I found a recipe for quesitos, the ones I bought were missing a key ingredient, you're supposed to serve them covered in honey. Makes them a lot like sopapillas, but with cream cheese filling :)
