backyardchef Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 I think the most important food news to be discussed is whether to scoop a bagel.... LA Vs NY Steel Cage Bagel Fight. Stop the presses. Nothing else matters. Quote

voyager Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 Okay, dukes up. To be honest, bagels are simply too heavy for me. Putting cream cheese on top of one of these lead balloons is the same kind of perverted logic but practical solution as putting whipped cream on chocolate mousse to "lighten it up". I can actually see how getting rid of some of the heft would create a decent filling base, but if that's your thing, why not just go for a baguette? Why try to make the proverbial silk purse out of a sow's ear. I'll concede that a bagel warm out of the oven has its charm, but hours later, no go. But this is true also for bread in general, Poilane, Acme and Tartine included. Just my picky bread opinion. Quote

Wilfrid Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 I have never been a big fan of bagels for the same reason. But yes, eat something else or take them home and scoop them yourself. Don't make a spectacle of it. Quote

bloviatrix Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 If he thinks he was treated badly for asking that the bagel be scooped out, he should try asking for it to be toasted! (at least at some places) Quote

(at least at some places) I was picking up bagels at a place in New Jersey - this place has good bagels, and when I picked mine up, they were warm from the oven. Yet there were still people ordering their bagels with schmears or with cream cheese + smoked salmon, bagel to be toasted. My feeling is places shouldn't even offer toasting; if you want your fresh out of the oven bagel toasted, bring it home. 2 Quote
MitchW Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 My next order - scooped, toasted, and restuff the insides raw! 1 Quote

splinky Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 and gluten free bagels are just pointless. 1 Quote
Wilfrid Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 I could buy keto-friendly bagels but I don't like bagels enough (and they would be expensive). Low carb croissants, yes. Maybe I should try scooping them. Quote
