PRODUCTS ON PARADE

Found at Whole Foods Columbus Circle!

Do you miss the paolitos that Puff & Pao served before it went poof? If so, you might want to give Sherrie's Cheese Rolls a try. Made with tapioca flour, cheddar cheese, and eggs, these midsized balls (they don't fit my idea of "rolls") can make a good snack or hors d'oeuvre. They take only minutes to cook in an oven.

I spotted the "Cheese Rolls" about a month ago at the Columbus Circle Whole Foods, during a gluten-free shopping excursion that also introduced me to two other frozen products: Wellshire Kids Uncured Chicken Corn Dogs and Ian's French Toast Sticks. I'd already read about the latter on the international celiac mailing list, where the mention of the product was met with some skepticism, but it's for real, folks—made with bread by Glutino! Just make sure you check the package to make sure it's not one of the wheat products made by Ian's.
