Does anyone else just eat the top of the bagel?


I usually either toss the bottom, or turn it into bagel chips for dipping. Is has no flavor, since there are no toppings on it.

That’s not how you eat a bagel

You cut the bagel in half, top and bottom, then apply your butter or cream cheese, slap top and bottom back together and finally cut it
in two half-moon shaped pieces

If you ever come to New York you should hire a guide!

I would almost sell my soul for a NY bagel, hell a Massachusetts bagel. Arizona thinks a bagel is just dry bread. Yuck.

How’s your pizza out there?
Most New Yorkers credit the water for our good bread here

We actually have some small brick oven places around that are great. Thin crispy crust, a few black bubbles, and just a few good toppings.

If some New Yorker wanted to make a fortune, they'd just set up a bagel shop downtown.

Sounds good
I like the Chicago deep dish style pizza too but I’ve never had it in Chicago…I’ll just sit here and wait for some Bears fan to curse me out now lol😃

reply

Hey! We don't allow no Yawkuhs to eat our pizza!

reply

Fine!
No pastrami on rye for you’s guys😤

Doh!

I actually like good old greasy New York style pizza. Maybe one day, I'll actually try it in New York.

How do you eat a bagel without the bottom? I don't even get that.🤷‍♀️

reply

I'm unclear about the concept as well. Does this mean one slices off the surface before eating?

reply

I only slap the two halves together when I am having an egg sandwich or meat sandwich. If I am having bagel & butter or bagel & cream cheese, I eat it like this

This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where they tried to donate the bottoms of muffins to the homeless.

Why don't you just drop off some chicken skins and lobster shells.

NOBODY WANTS THOSE MUFFIN STUMPS.🤔

I have never understood the fascination for bagels. Too dry and dense. I'd rather have a croissant any day.

reply

Plain bagels don't have toppings on them? And if you can put toppings on the top half you can also put them on the bottom half?

Not sure I'm picturing this scenario correctly...

reply

I feel very gaslighted about the definition of a bagel 😓

This explains why tcrum only posts in the first six posts of the Baker's Dozen threads (aka at the top.)

SHEDS SOME LIGHT ON HER SEX LIFE TOO.😉

reply

Which half is the top? I usually just toast half a bagel because they are yummy but stuffy.

reply

You can get bagel seasonings to sprinkle on your bottom bagel half.
