Donna asked about panko breadcrumbs. I used to love them, so I did a google
search on Panko breadcrumbs. I found this on the DIY net:
Question: What are "panko" breadcrumbs? Where can you get them and how are
they made? -- Hank
Answer: Panko breadcrumbs are the superhero of breadcrumbs. It is not rice
(like some people think). The ingredient list reads as follows: bleached wheat
flour, dextrose, partially hydrogenated soybean oil and palm oil, yeast and
salt. Originally from Japan (they are often referred to as Japanese-style
breadcrumbs), panko breadcrumbs are larger, flakier and lighter. They endow any
breaded item with several advantages -- they brown better, do not get soggy on
the inside and stay crunchier on the outside. They are beautiful, and I
highly recommend using them to create deliciously crunchy fried foods or even
super-crisp breaded chicken cutlets. I have even seen them with a touch of honey
flavor, which would be great for regular cooking, but particularly with
desserts.
