What is that strange, gelatinous substance topping off the ho-hum chedder-on-townhouse cracker? DULCE DE MEMBRILLO (or quince paste, to the uninitiated).  I realized, after seeing this post on Serious Eats that I had actually had this on Friday night at Brasserie Les Halles without realizing what it was I was eating.  If you’re not squeamish about unusual textures, it is absolutely worth trying — tart like guava paste, but not quite as sweet - a great way to turn up the volume on your standard everyday appetizer tray.  - cbeth
