Prairie City Bakerys Creamy Cheese Danish isnt as bad as it could be. Compared to some of the other Danishes weve tested, its fantastic. The flavor is nothing special, the bread isnt the best out there, and the frosting isnt provided in enough quantity to make it relevant, but the filling…wow. Creamy and soft, with just enough tart to keep it interesting. The flavor reminds me of homemade, and that isnt a criticism.
But Prairie City gets serious bonus points for the volume of cheese filling. The center core was almost three inches in diameter, and three quarters of an inch deep. That may not sound like much to you, but in the world of cheap Danishes, thats a lot. Easily twice what Ive seen on other Danishes, and almost twice what our local bakery puts out.
Tell them about the filling! the Generalissimo screamed in my ear. I didnt even know he was in my apartment. Come to think of it, I distinctly remembered locking the door when I got home.
I just did, I said.
You did?
See, right there.
He read over my shoulder. Indeed! A thousand apologies, oh stinky one! I can think of no higher honor
than to salute you! He saluted. Think flourish. Think extravagant. Think gay pride parade, and youre getting warmer.
I wouldnt call this cheese Danish the best, but it has enough going for it that Id be willing to overlook its problem areas for more of its cheesy goodness. And if they could fix those problems…
