Our 73rd slice of toast - Cream cheese & jalapenos

Unfortunately, standard English supermarkets don't tend to sell fresh jalapeno peppers. This is a shame as they are a fantastic breed. Often regarded as hot, they aren't often particularly so and make a great topping on a spicy pizza or in burritos. So due to the lack of fresh availability, they tend to be purchased in a jar by companies specialising in burrito 'kits', such as Old El Paso and Discovery. We went for discovery as this was the only choice available in our local Co-Operative.

Those with either a rational or irrational fear of spicy foods should definitely try this slice.  Yes it has a  little kick but we loaded on the seeds and the cream cheese acted as a successful spice dampener.  Grace originally picked many of the seeds out but soon realised this wasn't necessary.  These jalapenos have a great taste to them so don't be a pussy and allow that 'hot' label throw you off!  We're no pussies so don't you be.
