The pickled fruits of Olea europaea are bountifully embedded in Corrado's olive loaf ($2.25); I managed to make mine last for several blocks, but only because I was walking quickly. On other occasions:
A cranberry and pecan roll (75 cents) was a tough nut to crack, but beneath that crusty exterior it was quite moist, with lots of cranberries and just enough pecan. A pear danish ($3) — pear-shaped down to its "stem — had very flaky pasty, lots of moist fruit, but perhaps too much cinnamon tucked away underneath.
