When you have lox and bagels, do you eat them open-faced or as a sandwich?

In your reply, could you please say where you grew up? I've got my theories.

Edited to add my own response:
Chicago area, open faced, lots of lox.

1. Don't have lox too often

But when I do, it's open-faced and with just a modest amount. I grew up in the Chicago area.

3. Grew up in Chicago

Relative late-comer to bagel culture. But my husband is East Coast Jewish and a longtime bagel aficionado.

5. well,

I usually prefer whitefish salad . .. ;)

That being said, I have recently converted to the open-face style, if I get a choice. I just got tired of things getting sqeezed out and falling in my lap.

I grew up in Brooklyn, NY & Houston TX; spent five years in NC, and then the last eight in Virginia and the DC area.

Now I'm in MD, where there is no decent bagel place that i can find. . . Bagel City in Rockville is OK, but nothing like Murray's in Bala Cynwd, PA (outside Philly). :evilfrown:

6. DC....

moved to LA in early 20's. Never looked back, much to my relatives chagrin...now they worry I'm just another brainwashed liberal entertainer. I prefer to think of it as an escape to sanity, but whatever. However, my bagel eating ways have always been the same: open faced, lots of lox. Yum.
