Stefan, you lucky dog.  What you have there is a verifiable, no-foolin food 
of the Gods.  I don't know how you had it at Pennsic, but "dulce de 
membrillo" or quince paste is usually eaten with a soft white cheese 
(mozzarella works wonderfully).  Similar pastes are made of guava and sweet 
potato (dulce de guayaba or dulce de batata, respectively).  My dad, who was 
born in Colombia, goes nuts for dulce de guayaba.
