Remembering Alison Cook's description of our "Tailgate Salami" makes me smile...
"With its powdery white skin and crinkled end caps, the plump cylinder looks exactly like a well-cured sausage. But slice it open and you find a mesmerizing confection made by Houston's Chantal & Dragana's Gourmandises: it's a realistic dark chocolate salami, studded with pale nuts and a salty pop of pretzel. There s a haunting note of beer in the mix, and the lingering warmth of red chile. The play of sweet and savory makes the sausage based on a traditional holiday dessert from Serbia hard to stop eating."
