If you like the herb flavor of some of the other brands that come in a can, just add your own Italian Seasoning, fresh chopped parsley, or whatever else you like. The big advantage of these crumbs is that they are big, flaky, and crunchy, and will far outperform any other bread crumb when it comes to adding crunchiness and texture to your food.
Panko is actually a Japanese product and can be found in many asian grocers, but their availability is becoming more common as we continue to internationalize. Look for them in large supermarkets and specialty shops as well. Regular and honey are the two types usually found, the honey ones having just a touch of sweetness.
Before using, be sure to season will salt and pepper until you can taste it. For breading meats or chicken, I like to add some chopped parsley and fresh grated parmesan. Dip your meats in flour, then some beaten egg, and finally the seasoned breadcrumbs, before frying in oil. They are a great addtion to meatballs, crabcakes, meatloaf, and anything else that requires bread crumbs.
