Crunchy crumbs

Cooking is a nice mix of art and science, and it takes effort to find just the right balance. And it's all subjective.
I've tried multiple bread crumbs from several brands and in a variety of flavors. I've even made my own, using the ends of breads on hand and adding my preferred seasonings. They're put in my homemade meatballs and meatloaf, and for breading meats and veggies.
Until now, everything I've used has elicited a "meh" reaction, typically thickening a recipe while turning to mush. Flavor, or lack therof, has also been an issue.
But I recently discovered bread crumbs made by Metropolitan Gourmet of Parsippany, and I believe I've finally found what I like. Make that, love.
