"Rocky Mountain Trade Enterprises Duck Breast Prosciuttinni with Mozzarella, Mango, and Quail Eggs. Okay, I know there is little logic to this, but I do eat duck. Yes, they are as cute as pigs—let's stop talking about it! So the prosciuttinni was the closest thing I've had to real prosciutto in many years, and it definitely had that meaty, salty, savory flavor I love. It was served with frisee, which was a fresh, bitter foil to the salty gameyness of the meat. The tiny, tender quail eggs, mango puree, and fresh mozzarella only added to the taste sensation." Melanie Redbook Magazine May 2008
