    It's like a doughnut only hard and bland. I'm surprised it's not big in the UK.

        A garlic bagel filled with cream cheese, pepper, sliced tomato, spinach, cilantro, and cucumber.

          It sounds disgusting so, yeah, I'm surprised it's not wildly popular in the UK. We are the culinary trash-heap of the world after all.

            I used to like salt, but now I don't so much. I really like a toasted everything. Something about how the seeds get a little burnt that is yummy. Plus I like it if there is a just a little salt on the everything. Cinamon raisin is alos quite good. When it is hot and toasted, the melting cream cheese kinda combines with the hot raisins to give a honey taste.

            Morning: sweeter taste, go for Cin raisin

            Afternoon: more meal taste, go for everything

            butter is also quite good on a hot cin raisin.

              Plain, toasted, generous portions of melted butter, and sometimes with strawberry jelly.

              Mmmm...

              Great thread.
              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat.

                Fez is making fun of the British??? Yes - he definitely is better than before!
                Good Bagels are not hard and bland. The best are slightly chewy, warm, flavorful, satisfying... Oh man...

                    It's unrised (?) dough made into the shape of a donut. Very good stuff.

                          AH -

                          Pumpernickel is a very dark, coarse bread that originated among the German peasants. The name is a combination of the words Fumfer (collaquial for "to fart") and Nixien (a gremlin or pixie). Since the bread was so coarse, it would often induce gas, hence one was possessed by a "fumfernixien," or a "fart gremlin."

                            You guys all have it wrong, unless the guy who said "salmon" means "lox."

                            The greatest - and I mean *greatest* - bagel must be a bagel with cream cheese and lox. Sometimes you want a slice of tomato; sometimes you don't. Lox spread may, if necessary, be used as a substitute for lox but the real thing is the best.

                            Soooooo good.

                            What sucks is I just went to Dunkin' Donuts here and I can't believe it: no lox spread! They have *strawberry* creamcheese (wtf is that?) but no lox. In fact, the person taking my order didn't know what lox was.

                              Bagels are inherently Jewish, so I'd have thought that any place with a a decent-sized Jewish population would have bagels.

                                Dark, coarse, and yummy!
