I had the munchies late last night, and like a bad boy I found myself rummaging through the refrigerator, and found this package of Gallo Salame & Provolone Cheese Snack.
My wife bought it months ago. I don't know what plans she had for it. Sometimes she buys stuff just because she thinks I might like it. She's all too familiar with Junk Food Blog, and knows that I need material for it.
My first thought was, "I don't feel like having a sandwich". But then an idea hit me, "Who needs bread anyways?"
So I opened up the package, and put a cheese and salami together, folded it over, and voila! A sandwich.
I guess it's similar to having a hamburger without the bun. This is just a "low-carb" salami and cheese sandwich.
The package actually says "Snack Pack", so I feel better that I ate this to satisfy a snacking urge. Even if it was already past midnight.

For lunch today I decided to eat this spicy sopresatta wrapped in mozzarella cheese. It's sold under the King Cheese brand, and I found it today in the international deli section of my local Albertsons.
It just looked so appetizing, most likely because it was 1:00pm, and I hadn't eaten anything yet.
It comes in a log, which you're supposed to cut into slices. I thought about sticking to my junk food tradition by just grabbing the whole thing and eating it like a Snickers bar, but it's rather greasy.
The mozzarella is very soft and has a smooth creamy texture in my mouth.
The spicy sopresatta is medium in spiciness, very thinly sliced, and gives off a subtle flavor. It's probably more oily than anything, but then again, I'm not an expert in spicy sopresatta.
The cheese itself has a spiciness to it also because its topped with red peppers.
Together it's absolutely delish.
But it's not something you'd eat like a snack, nor eat whole the way I did. You'd probably eat just a couple of slices and share with friends.
In terms of fat, cholesterol, sodium, and carbs, it's not that bad actually. The entire roll is..
560 calories
32gm fat
20mg cholesterol
1,360mg sodium
16gm carbohydrates
There are 8 servings per roll.
I guess I'd call this junk food since I ate the whole roll. But if you eat just one serving you can feel better by calling it an "appetizer".
I paid $6.99 for this at Albertsons. Add a Dr Pepper to wash it down, and it's not too bad of a price for lunch.
