The curse of the BAGEL

BeaBizzy, you're figuring this out fast. You'll do well.0

Maybe it's because the only homemade bagels I ever had were in Louisiana, but I don't like them. Can't eat them out of a package, either, where they are usually there as part of the breakfast for networking or other breakfast events.0

I've had bagels from Toronto and New York. You don't know a great bagel until you've had one. And I agree with another poster that it's all about the texture.0

Have half a bagel? Share a bagel?0

Oh and Montreal is good for poutine, interesting French and hydro...since they provide most of the hydro for the east coast of north america.
As someone who went to college in Maine, I will add that the entire province of Quebec is good for having a low drinking age.
Also, as someone descended from 18th c Quebequois millworkers? Also excellent for superbold eyebrows.0 -

I live in Iowa, couldn't get a proper bagel to save my soul
Minnesota here. Don't you have any Brueggers in IA? They are the real deal (NY style bagels) I grew up here in a suburb of Mpls with a big Jewish population, and several Jewish deli's, so I have had good bagels all of my life.
As with most food, work it into your calories. It is all about calorie deficit CICO. Pre-MFP, I had one every morning. Now I have one occasionally. A lot of calories, but worth it for me.0 -
Well, that didn't work out the way it was supposed to. You should be able to figure out why I said the Jewish thing. That ones pretty obvious. But you weren't supposed to be Jewish. You ruined the joke. Don't be Jewish next time.
ROFL I just snorted club soda out my noise. Ouch. Seriously so funny

better idea: politely ask your husband to not bring them home. if theyre not there, you cant eat them.0

Not surprised to see you give an opinion like that.
I'm from New Orleans, where REAL bread is served.
Yeah, I don't know. I'm pretty sure if you want real bread, you have to go to Europe. European bread puts anything in North America to shame.
Too true and what a great thing.
And as far as NOLA? OK, I'll give you beignets; but come out to SF for some fresh, hot, crusty sourdough.
However, you can still get better beignets in SF.
Do tell! Where can I get an outstanding beignet in SF, because I will be there!

We have Breuggers in Cedar Rapids...not sure about the rest of the state.
I have 1/2 toasted bagel with egg, meat and cheese for breakfast a couple times a week. Not sure that anyone really cares...but seemed as good of a thread as any to get that off my chest.0 -

ermagerds, gotta remember where I was. Union street, drunk as a priest.
there was a server named cheyenne.
That narrows it down to like 114 places. Do post back if you remember - been awhile since I've had a beignet (and last time it was meh).

I like these half bagel ideas. I had a half bagel yesterday and it was satisfying enough. Sounds like a great breakfast san ... thx
