The re-entry this year has been noticeably difficult, maybe because we were away a little longer. So, we keep trying to find some acceptable bread and cheese to survive with until our next trip. So, other than the bread we get when dining in Jersey City and a few New York spots, we have been searching for the basic baguette to bring home for dinner.
So, we've tried Whole Foods, Calandra's, Sanitary, and found some acceptable bread at Sorrento's in East Hanover. We will still keep trying. At Sorrento's we also found some very nice white fig jam. Although the consistency is odd, the taste and quality is good.
Then on the cheese front, we've tried from Whole Foods, Affinage, Trader Joe's, and the best, believe it or not, was Black Forest Goat Cheese from Shop-rite, which was imported from France.
We're planning some excursions to NYC over the winter to try a few more spots for bread and cheese.
Note: other bread finds in New Jersey
1. Bagels: Sony's in South Orange - even getting the frozen ones, put in microwave and they are fantastic.
2. Rye Bread - Eppes Essen in Livingston.
3. Challah - hands down, West Orange Bake Shop, who also produces amazing onion rolls and, during Chanukah, great donuts especially for someone like me who ordinarily doesn't eat or like donuts.
