Poll question: What's the plural of "bagel" |
|
My mother-in-law uses "bagel" as both the singular and the plural (e.g., "this bakery makes good bagel" or "I bought some bagel for brunch").
I've always used "bagels" to refer to more than one of them, but then again, I'm from a small town in the west and never saw a bagel until college.

2. Well, it's Jewish in origin, so... |
|
Bagelim?
Actually it's Yiddish, so that would make it...bagelen?
I say "bagels", BTW.
