    I get why people would want to sccop out a bagel to cut cals (though I disagree with it!) but if you didn't want a whole bagel why would you not just eat half a bagel? Then you've still got a perfectly usable other half a bagel, not a wasted pile of bagel guts.
    Begone with your logic.

    I don't get bagels. There's a massive hole in the middle. If it was a normal bread roll, it'd work better, surely. Scooped out is no worse in my books.

    I was reading about barquettes last night, which is apparently a small, boat-shaped pastry shell filled with a savory or sweet mixture and served as an hors d'oeuvre or dessert. Kinda like a scooped out bagel? Dunno, that's just where my mind went. :bigsmile:

    I love my crunchy scooped out everything bagel:-)
    And oh, the nova, cream cheese, tomato, onion I stuff it with!
    I don't care for the soft spongy bread.

    I haven't heard of doing this to a bagel, but I know it's a thing at Subway. Supposedly it's to cut out some of the bread calories.

    that makes sense. Less bread = less calories. I just use bagel thins. I think you lose a little texture with them but I like to make sandwiches with them so it all works out in the end.
