A bialy is a wonderful piece of dense bread that has an indentation in it that is filled with onions. We gentiles often just referred to them as "onion rolls". They are delicious with smoked salmon, as previously and mouth wateringly described by Whalen. Cut them in half; lightly toast them; add a bit of butter; have a cup of hot strong tea to accompany.................mmmmmm
