I would like to know what a REAL bagel is supposed to taste like.
This afternoon I had a Lenders bagel. (I don't know if it is a national chain or not) They are supposed to be kept refrigerated and they are smaller in size than some bagels I have had. These were onion and I toasted them in the toaster and spread with cream cheese. It was yummy.
I have had great BIG bagels and those that are really hard to bite through but not being a well versed bagel buyer I don't know which is what.
What are the qualities of a good bagel and how do YOU eat them and with what?
I am dangling something here and some gol darned grammarian will bonk my head.
