Damn you, Safeway Primo Taglio Mozzarella, Prosciutto & Basil Roll...why must you be so delicious?

Edited on Mon Aug-02-10 05:26 PM by Amerigo Vespucci

This is not a photo of the ACTUAL Safeway product. But it's close enough to give you an idea of what it looks like. A roll approximately the size of a hot dog bun costs $7. I don't even want to think about the calories.

ON EDIT: Let's see if we can get rid of the pink triangle from the last photo, shall we?

5. DOUBLE damn it!

:rofl:

OK, I swapped out the previous photo. This one looks even less like the Safeway roll because there is no prosciutto on the outside, just the inside. If it's another pink triangle, I'm callin' it a DAY.

4. If it's made of mozzarella, prosciutto & basil ...

... that pretty much guarantees it will be good.

The picture I'm seeing does not contain olives, or any food item for that matter.

6. Hopefully everyone can see the new photo...

...if not, it's basically a jelly roll-style roll-up of mozzarella, prosciutto and fresh basil leaf. It looks great sliced and tastes even better.

7. Why worry about calories?

The cholesterol load in that thing will clog your arteries solid before you gain a pound.

8. Okay, it's not pink anymore--cool

But honestly, it's not floating my olive-oil-soaked Italian heart, because my aunt makes something similar with better bread--essentially pizza dough--sort of like a stromboli, only better. I'm all :9 just thinking about it.

9. "Stuffed Pizza" used to be an Italian / Easter tradition in my family

Man oh man oh MAN did I look forward to her sending stuffed pizza home with my dad.

It's basically ham or prosciutto plus eggs and cheese cooked in pizza dough...you can either do it turnover-style or make it in a springform pan. I've seen many different recipes, some of which add ingredients that were never in the version I remember and shouldn't be in there either. I have a recipe from the 1980 version of the Good Housekeeping Cookbook that calls it "Italian Cheese and Ham Pie," with the ingredients being cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, diced ham, Parmesan cheese, eggs, Italian seasoning, and traditional pie crust instead of pizza dough.

10. Nice!

Speaking of stuffed dough, I've been on a quest to find a decent calzone ever since I got spoiled by the absolutely PERFECT one at a pizzeria in my old college town. Haven't managed to find one to match Italian Kitchen's yet...it's going on--eep--23 years now... :(

11. I have two clients with two very different takes on calzones

These are photos I took for each of their Websites. Both restaurants offer meat or vegetable varieties. Both make their pizza dough from scratch.

12. That's just wrong man!

I have celiac disease and have to be on a gluten-free diet.

Calzones are one of the things I miss most! My mouth is watering looking at those pictures.

:cry:
