My notes of several years ago on Parisi's prosciutto roll (shown at top; $1 at the time) mention little but its saltiness; a recent encounter with the bakery's prosciutto ring ($4.75) was happier.
By tearing free a quarter-ring, roughly (brutishly, that is, as well as approximately), I obtained a hunk about the same size as the roll, but with less crust, more crumb, so it was more limber and (seemingly) a shade less intense. Tearing apart the prosciutto ring did nothing for its looks, but I gave the leftovers a loving home, at least through dinnertime.
