My daughter requested quiche as her welcome home from camp dinner. I was so glad that I picked up the ingredients while I was out with my grandmother on Thursday because yesterday the weather was unbearable.
I did however have the brilliant idea to snazz it up with crab meat but I didn't think I could justify putting $25 lump crab meat in a quiche so I called Shop Rite to see if they had some on sale. The problem was that when I got there the sign said imported. I immediately got nervous because I certainly did not want "fresh" crab meat from China. I thought I might go with the pasteurized stuff in the can but that's always sourced from China...and of course Chicken of the Sea was not an option.
I picked up the container and it was from Venezuela, so i went out on a limb for $12.
As I picked through the crab meat, I notice three things - only 25% was actually lump, there were lots of shell bits, and lots of liquid.
I made one plain spinach quiche because I wasn't sure if my daughter would go for the crab additive. The other three I made with the crab. Hands down, the crab was the best...only problem is that I missed a couple of shell bits.
