Can’t believe you made something. Kudos –

My take on the whole thing is…Panko is as Panko does…..only should be at Claim Jumper – awesome.

@Aimee – Yeah, I noticed that and thought that it was too salty and I should run it under water or something to get rid of excess sodium.

@Lane O – Just let it go. It’s too late to save the word. It’s just like karaoke.

No, really… the chicken parm looks ono. The only thing that bugs me is the collective incorrect pronunciation of the word panko. Especially by the cooks on the food network when they use the short ‘a’ sound like ‘pan’ as in frying pan. Instead of the — oh I don’t know what you call the correct ‘a’ sound as in papa. Help me out Marvo!

If you can get smoked mozzarella there, try it next time you make this, omg yum.

Also, 400mg of sodium for 1/4/ cup of crumbs? I bet you could make a tastier, more authentic version for way less salt, but this one wins for the convenience & price.

@reprobate:

@Neil - They would also be awesome as replacements for feathers, just in case I have some tar, but no feathers. @cjwsbg - Okay, that means I have to buy a tripod. Do you want a close shot of the slicing or do you want it zoomed out so you can see the pain on my face. Oh wait, I know how to solve that. I'll get two cameras. I hope I can edit all the footage by the time I lose all my blood. @Reprobate - Come on. There's no just thing as a Terrorist Fist Jab. There's a Terrorist Secret Handshake and a Terrorist Secret Reacharound. @Reprobate - Actually, when the PETA ad about cows was up, I wanted to do reviews of only burgers, but I think that would've killed Ace and myself. @Alisha - I get mine from the Asian section at my Safeway, but pretty much any Asian store/section/country will have it. Oh, also, 99 cents is the sale price, but regular price is only $1.50. @bikerbabeee - Actually, I was surprised that Progresso makes stuff other than soups. @Nevis - But the next day it was back to drive-throughs. @Heidi - Unfortunately, the Spanko name is already taken for something I pay $20 to my dominatrix for. @fanta - I think I don't really like cooking because I dislike the cleaning up. @shNermal - Well I'm glad it's not Wardrobe Malfunctiono. @Brie - Breadcrumbs and panko are my friends. I love the crunch. @Meshie - PETA ad is gone. I took it down because it was freaking me out. As for the photo, I took it with my amateur photography skillz and with sharpness turned up all the way.

What PETA ad? Crunchy sound is sexy? Spanko? LOL!!!
A pound of plain panko runs less than $3. You can add your own seasonings and get better breading for less.

The chicken looks yummy, Marvo. I’m one of those people who never uses breadcrumbs, much less panko. I’d never even heard of it before.

And thanks for taking down that PETA ad. I agree, it was just f*cking nasty.

Spanko…I think Janet Jackson is using that during her tour.

Marvo, I am impressed by your cooking and find your finished dish very appealing except for the wormlike white noodles which are shocking in their nakedness.

And it is cooking, don’t sell yourself short: recipe sites are full of meals that take fewer steps.

Heidi, I would be happy to work with you to develop the Spanko product but suspect that much like Giada De Laurentiis it will be hard to fit in a box.

I misread this as “Spanko”… I think it would have somehow made it a better product if it had been called that.

I echo Dana. Blasphemer! You cooked?

Alisha, is your store a super mega chain? There’s your problem. Go to an Asian specialty store, you’ll get quality panko for cheapo.

They look like the regular Italian bread crumbs Progresso puts out. I guess I will have to buy some and compare them to the original bread crumb version. I will still probably just add the seasoning myself to the plain Panko as I always did before.. much cheaper as you have already pointed out.
