<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Is salt a food?<\/p>\n
If it wasn\u2019t such a ridiculous answer to a question literally no one is asking me, I might say salt is my favorite food. <\/p>\n
I use way too much salt, admittedly. I once ate a plate of pineapple with salt on it. Why? Why not? My calorie counter has stopped using numbers to log my daily sodium intake, opting to just warn me with a skull emoji.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s bad. Soft pretzels are ambrosia to me. Your restaurant promoting a new pretzel bun? I\u2019m in. Salted pizza crust? Hit me. Salted anything sweet? Straight cash, homey. I really need to stop eating so much damn salt.<\/p>\n
Ahhhhhh<\/em>, but I\u2019ll cut back tomorrow. Today is Dunkin’ Donuts Pretzel Croissant Breakfast Sandwich Day, and ain\u2019t no death emoji gon\u2019 stop me.<\/p>\n I\u2019m from New Jersey, so there\u2019s no shortage of good places to get a breakfast sandwich. From diners to bagel places boasting recipes that include the fabled New York tap water, I\u2019ve never really had a reason to opt for Dunkin’ Donuts\u2019 savory fare. I\u2019ve dabbled, but never been too impressed. If I\u2019m feeling fast food breakfast, I\u2019d take a McDonald\u2019s or Burger King over Dunkin\u2019s in a heartbeat. <\/p>\n I think I\u2019m about to change my tune.<\/p>\n This new salted pretzel croissant from Dunkin is so good, I feel inclined to pronounce it \u201cQua-sahn<\/em>.\u201d I can\u2019t believe how blown away I was by a $3 sandwich from a donut joint. <\/p>\n It had all the elements of a delicious qua-sahn<\/em> AND a delicious soft pretzel. The exterior was crispy, but still flakey and soft. While it was flakey and soft, it was still structurally fit to hold a sandwich together.<\/p>\n It had a subtle buttery taste that reminded me of an Auntie Anne\u2019s mall pretzel. As far as the salt goes, I may have gotten a lucky draw. There was a perfect amount of exterior salt crystals, so I didn\u2019t have to do my usual salt bagel routine and scrape some off with a butter knife. The salt crystals did their job giving me my extra salt boost, while also providing a welcome crunch.<\/p>\n I basically went into this knowing I\u2019d love the croissant, but thought I\u2019d hate the contents of the sandwich itself. Dunkin\u2019s bacon always looked flimsy and gross, and that filet of plastic egg they use never seemed all that palatable either, but I\u2019ve been enlightened. <\/p>\n The sandwich was supposed to come with black forest ham, but I suspect I got bacon. That looks like bacon, no? It tasted like bacon. Either way, the bacon\/ham was flavorful and didn\u2019t chew like pure gristle. The egg patty was standard, but had a nice texture to it, and the melted piece of Wisconsin aged white cheddar brought it all together.<\/p>\n Maybe it was just the pretzel qua-sahn<\/em> high I was on, but the flavors and textures all married to form a nearly perfect breakfast sandwich. If you\u2019re a savory-sweet fanatic, chasing this with a donut might ruin your afternoon, but it\u2019ll probably make for a fantastic morning.<\/p>\n Look folks, I\u2019ve never been to Paris. I\u2019ve probably never had a gourmet qua-sahn<\/em> in my life, so this review might seem a bit hyperbolic. That being said, I really think it\u2019ll pleasantly surprise you.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve never been a repeat buyer of a Dunkin savory menu item, but I will be now. Not only was this sandwich awesome, they sell the pretzel croissants separately, so you can probably customize them however you please if you ask nicely.
