   Whoever got bagels instead of doughnuts should be sacked.

   Mmmm biegels with salt beef and mustard, smoked salmon and cream-cheese, schmaltz herring. These are some of the delicacies I miss from the UK. McDonalds occasionally run a special on biegels (or bagels) and we can buy the frozen American bagels, but they’re not the same.

   It was the chief biochemists birthday last week and she brought in assorted doughnuts, cakes and chocs. We all looked like hamsters for the rest of the day. Hamsters with grubby faces.

   He didn’t even have one. He merely saw them and down he went.

   It must have been just plain bagels. If they’d had a good variety I’m sure he could have survived with one of the chocolate chip bagels.

    I was never offered bagels with those choices.

    I’m with Roy on this one. To me a bagel is just a piece of bread with a lot of extra crust. I like fresh bread, but in no way is that some kind of special treat. And any topping, however exotic, is just disguising how plain and tasteless the bagel is by itself.

    A real bagel isn’t just “a piece of bread,” although the bagels you get these days aren’t anything more than bread doughnuts. As a lifelong New Yorker, I don’t think I’ve had a REAL bagel since the 1970s. Modern bagels spring back when you squeeze them. A real, old-fashioned bagel is too dense to squeeze at all. That’s not to say that they’re any more of a “special treat,” but they’re about as culturally authentic as chop suey or instant grits.

    You’ve never had a bagel with smoked salmon and cream cheese? Those (along with a slice of raw onion) are the traditional toppings! That’s like never having had a hot dog with mustard and sauerkraut, pancakes with butter and maple syrup, or pizza with pepperoni.
