Due to a variety of reasons (I can't think of more places to get free food, and I'm sick of writing about it), I am cancelling the third installment in the free food series. Instead, I plan to discuss jalapeno cheese bread. (Please excuse the lack of the tilde over the n; my computer illiteracy renders me unable to find a way to introduce it.)
Back to the bread. Jalapeno cheese bread does not come from a famous bakery, like Acme Bread in Berkeley, or a not-so-famous bakery, such as the Bread Garden in Berkeley. Rather, one can most easily find jalapeno cheese bread at the local supermarket. I have had success at Albertson's and Ralph's, although I'm sure other markets sell it, except for maybe Whole Foods, but I won't go there today.
So what's the fuss about this bread? Even though the bread part itself, ironically, doesn't taste all that special (in fact, it tastes like Wonderbread, i.e., like nothing), the baked cheese and jalapenos are amazing. The baked cheese tastes like the pieces of cheese that fall off pizza in the oven, and come to a crispy char on the foil, and the jalapenos add heat and salt to this--two elements I have a weakness for. Based on experience, this bread travels extremely well, and makes as a good a breakfast as it does for enclosing sandwich ingredients. Finally, if one's jalapeno cheese bread has too much cheese, I've learned that feeding the cheese to a cat works effectively.
