Poll question: Favorite bagel?
Edited on Thu Oct-30-03 10:53 AM by forradalom
And a question: Why do they always pack the onion bagels next to the cinnamon-raisin ones???

On edit: Damn, I just got cream cheese on my iBook.

1. I think I am going up to make a bagel
I have blueberry ones mmmmmmm but cinnamon and raison are my favorites. Plus I don't like flavored cream cheese, regular Philadelphia cream cheese is the best.

5. As a child my dad ate those.
I hated waking up to the smell that those made while in the toaster.

Oh yes, veggie cream cheese
I was really not much of a bagel & cream cheese fan until I first tasted that stuff. Doesn't really matter what kind of bagel you spread it on (as long as it's not a sweet one), it's just damn good.

20. I love everythings
That's the only type I'll eat if they have them. They're good for indecisive people.

10. Onion bagel
regular cream cheese
capers if you've got 'em
tomatoes
red onions
lox
Open faced, of course.

And to (well, not really) answer your question: The nice people at the bagel place here, when I bought 3 dozen bagels for work, put the sweet bagels in one box and the non-sweet bagels in another.

11. Those folks have brains.
I can't count the number of times my cinnamon-raisin bagel had an overpowering aroma of onion. YUCK!

15. Aw jeez
I knew someone was going to be outraged that I omitted their favorite Pomengranate Pimento bagel. I subsumed 'garlic' under 'onion' in order to get a wider sample. I also omitted my favorite, Honey Nut.

14. Garlic! and more garlic!
That's my favorite. A bagel with anything sweet in it, to me, is not a real bagel, that's a donut.

But I can never get enough garlic on my bagels! Yum! Toasted with some veggie cream cheese.

22. A man of simple tastes...


...a plain bagel, toasted, with plain cream cheese.

And I never get the cream cheese on my 'puter; the beard catches everything that gets away from the mouth.

25. Certain ones do.
Like the ones that virtually every grocery store I've ever shopped at sell.

But if you go to a real bagel shop, they are quite exceptional. Unfortunately, these can be hard to find, especially in certain parts of the country.
