Bagels
Mom said you can toast them, or make a sandwich out of them or something... im pretty sure bagels are american (i think) does anyone eat them or what can you put on them to make them taste yummy!!! Just wondering lol  |

| toast them use them for any sandwich .. great to put cream cheese on a toasted bagel yummy great for sunday morning |
| I was raised on begals. All other breads are poor imposters... My fab is an egg begal with cream cheese an olives,(green olives) mmmmmm Vance |
| Ive tried turkey and stuffing, and that was nice I am now eating a honey, apple and banana bagel!!! aha  i will turn circular! |
| There are lots of flavors of bagels here, so that can affect what you put on them. Right now I have the "everything" bagels....and I do love them.  I like mine plain and toasted with butter on all the time. I also like them with Nutella, or cream cheese (plain and flavored). They also can be used like a bread and make a sandwich. There are ones with fruit in that make good sweets with jams or jellies. Some also have onions and garlic and are good as well! |
| If you are a true New Yorker the order is a bagel with a schmear (cream cheese) and lox! A great Sunday morning brunch item. Bagels were brought to the US in the late 19th century by Eastern European Jews. A real kosher bagel is first boiled and then baked. There is nothing better than good kosher New York bagel (the water makes the difference). Kathie |

| Ooh I love bagels. My favorite is the everything with cream cheese and smoked salmon.. But some other "outside of the box" ideas.. Cut it into thinnish chips and toast. Use for chips and dip Older leftover bagels, cut into cubes and make breadcrumbs. Turkey avocado sandwiches are yummy on toasted bagels. |
| I got a real kick out of hearing your discovery of bagels. Having been born and raised in New York, bagels are so common, I forget not everyone knows what they are! In NY, we have a million different types of bagels...sesame, wheat, cinnamon raise, poppy, egg, oh the list goes on and on... We even make pizza bagels...tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese on top and baked in oven like pizza. Yummy! |
| Toasted bagel, cream cheese, smoked salmon then sliced red onion and capers! Oh my!!! Every Tuesday after swimming I meet my friends at a bagel shop. In addition to just creamcheese and flavored cream cheeses, they have sandwiches. Tuna salad, chicken salad, but they also are more creative: pizza (sauce, cheese, etc and all toasted), they have egg sandwiches (egg, ham and cheese).....oh my many different combinations. And the combination of flavored bages  poppy seed, onion, garlic, sesame seed, blueberry, cranberry, apple, etc etc. In autumn they have pumpkin bagels......they used to have ginger cream cheese to go with it.......oh, to die for! My husband likes peanut butter on bagels.....but then he LOVES peanut butter on anything. Every once in awhile I'll make bagels at home. You boil the uncooked bagels for a bit, drain them and then bake them. |
| My favorite are poppy seed and I love bagel chips, go great with everything. |
| tuna melt bagels are yums!!! I love bagels  |
| My favorite--toasted with cream cheese and a little cinnamon & sugar |
I come from a family of Jews from Brooklyn. While I'm not sure where the bagel really originates, as a people, we like to think we own the rights to them.  Our family's weekend tradition was a huge platter of bagel's after Saturday morning Temple, cream cheese or butter, Lox, smoked whitefish. fresh sliced onions, capers, sometimes some sliced tomatoes or lettuce. My all time favorite (and let me tell you, its hard to get it well done here in Atlanta) is an onion bagel lightly toasted (if its not fresh and warm from the bakery) with cream cheese (whipped, preferably) whitefish (whole flaked, not salad) and sliced Onions. As I've gotten older, and my allergies have betrayed me, I have to lay off the fresh onion. I'm pretty sure Adam is grateful. One of my favorite bagel lunches was a sesame bagel toasted with mayo, turkey, and lettuce. A well baked bagel, warm with just some cream cheese can be like a hug! And as a breakfast item, it can't be beat. I remember walking to school, and stopping on the way for a bagel. Later in life, I remember years of morning commutes, where I'd go just a little out of the way to stop for one that I'd then eat while driving the Garden State Parkway to work. I was a lot younger, with a working metabolism back then. I think its probably a good thing that we don't have great bagels in Atlanta, as I'd probably weight a good 20 pounds heavier. |

Vance Vance; what part of NJ are you from? I grew up in and around Morristown, in Morris County. |
| My husband and I actually made our own bagels once, long, long ago when we had more time and no money. It was fun, but we didn't make enough attempts to perfect our process. I personally love plain bagels the best, but onion are tied with sesame seed. I toast them in the toaster, lightly browned. Usually just top with butter, and eat on the way to work.... Living in small town Minnesota, there are no genuine delis around. I have to make do with whatever brand the small groceries carry. Even in the closest larger cities, there is a very minimal Jewish population, so very limited variety of bagels and again: no genuine deli. Hubby brought knishes back from St. Louis the last time he was down and I thought I had gone to heaven. |
| funny you should mention the "right" way. Locally we have shops that boil and others steam. Some boil in salted water, others in a lye water. I like the harder outer skin, DH likes the softer outer skin,  While not Jewish, all our neighbors were. Bagels have been part of my life since I can remember. |
| My favorite Bagel is the Onion toasted with Cream cheese. Chuck's fav is plain, toasted with butter. I'll have to try the garlic, I'm sure I would like it as well. |

| I tried a bagel & did not like them. Bit on the dry side & plain. Cannot beat a good egg & bacon sarnie |

I have some kind of egg phobia but wow, a bacon sandwich, with loads of sauce (I mix and match ketchup, BBQ, mayo) on really fresh white bread....= perfection!!! |
| An egg, bacon and cheese Sammie (sandwich). Is always good. |
Darcy wrote: An egg, bacon and cheese Sammie (sandwich). Is always good. Todd's been on a kick making the egg and bacon sandwich with pancakes or should I say  , as they are sinful! |
| Toasted rye bread, cheddar cheese, egg over easy, crisp bacon....yummmmm |
| I had a bagel (actually a "squagel" a square bagel from Cosi that was leftover from a rescue event) with cream cheese and an egg on top for dinner. Ru and Marley had some too. When I got a breadmaker I started making bagels, but mine were never as good as the deli here.. so I still buy em regularly. Love me some whipped cream cheese on top! |
| Our wedding was catered by a place called Barry's Bagels. Bagel sandwhiches for dinner. Yum Lisa Frankie and mattie |
I have a plain toasted bagel every morning. Usually, I prefer low sugar jelly, but on days when I know I'm too busy for lunch, I add a first layer of low fat peanut butter. Warm bagel+peanut butter+jelly=  |
Not to be a debbie downer but the average bagel is 290 calories with cream cheese 385, if you make a sandwich  Bagels arent ment to be a daily thing, they are really fattening.With that being said, when i indulge, i like the jalapeno bageles. |
Don't care for bagels but I do love bacon, pickled beets and green (spring) onions on toasted whole wheat bread  |
| Jen LOVES pickled eggs in beets. I never could get past magenta colored eggs. We've been buying 'skinny bagels' from Sam's Club. They're like a regular bagel only about 1/2" thick. all the flavor of a store-bought bagel, but less than half of the filling bread. All this talk is making me hungry every time i came back to this thread. There are SO many great ideas here. Vance |
| my fave sandwich is the good old cucumber sarnie. But u do love a good bacon butty!!! Butty and Sarnie are just our slang words for sandwich. (normal bread slices with filling LOL )Thanks for all those combinations.. i found a bagel shop in my town!! I am so going there soon |

A sarnie is what you have in the south, a buttie is what you have if you're northern Anyway, don't listen to these guys, they know NOTHING about baguels This is the correct way to eat them... take a CINNAMON bagel and slice in half.. pop it into the toaster or under the grill until it's lightly toasted. Then spread with butter, once this has melted in, add a thick layer of Nutella chocolate spread and sprinkle cinnamon on top to finish. Who needs diets anyway??! OM NOM NOM |
| haha !! I say buttie more than sarnie lol im more a northen girl but from the west lol haha |
| Ah, the one thing I actually miss about my old job! Genuine imported NY bagels! Our sales reps would fly in with a grocery bag of bagels from the City for everyone in our office. Mmmmmmm! Not sure how they flew with a bag of assorted flavor bagels on their laps from LaGuardia or Newark to Indianapolis without being attacked. They knew if they had no bagels it wasn't safe to come in the building. Everyone fought to meet them at the airport, too!  |
| No true bagel lover would ever toast their bagel and place all kinds of wacky stuff on them. There are flavored bagels for that purpose. Bagels are traditionally eaten either just with butter or many like a smear (cream cheese) either with or without lox and thinly sliced onion. The reason New York Bagels are so wonderful is because of the water and a tradional bagel is first boiled then baked. At one time there was a bagel shop here in Florida that actually had trucks deliver New York Water to his bakery to make the bagels and rolls, but due to the cost constantly escalating he had to stop and ended up closing down. I am just grateful that I have family who ships me bagels from New York and I just wrap them up individually in vacuumbags and keep them in my freezer. If I am going to have one for breakfast I will take it from the freezer before I go to bed and by morning it is fine or I can just take one from the freezer when I wake up and within 20 minutes it usually is thawed out. My personal all time favorites are the plain, garlic, salt, poppy. If I get a cinnamon raisin, then I use cream cheese (plain). Another great item is the bialy, but that has a whole different taste and texture. When I last lived in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, at that time the WORLD'S ABSOLUTE BEST BAGELS came from WAWEL BAKERY on Grand Street. My folks knew the owners well and after a night out at the Trotter's (either Roosevelt or Yonkers), they would stop each night and get fresh rolls and bagels that had come right out of the oven. OH, those were the days !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Montreal-style bagels! I live in Nova Scotia but if you go to specialty shops you can find them. YUM! http://confluence.hb-studios.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=12353824 The Montreal bagel, (sometimes beigel; Yiddish בײגל beygl), is a distinctive variety of handmade and wood-fired baked bagel. In contrast to the New York-style bagel,[1] the Montreal bagel is smaller, sweeter and denser, with a larger hole, and is always baked in a wood-fired oven. It contains malt, egg, and no salt and is boiled in honey-sweetened water before being baked in a wood-fired oven, whose irregular flames give it a dappled light-and-dark surface colour. In many Montreal establishments, bagels are still produced by hand and baked in wood-fired ovens, often in full view of the customers.[2] There are two predominant varieties: black-seed (poppy seed), or white-seed (sesame seed). |
| I always thought Sarnie is more of a Midlands term , sandwich is named after the Earl of Sandwich he didn't invent the sandwich his title was adhered to the food when others wanted the same as what Sandwich was eating. |
