Is there any other correct way?

Prefer mine sans onion but with capers.


Though sometimes, I will go to a place and get a bagel with tuna salad. I'll admit it.

of course bagels are good in so many ways. I was just being Jewish.

ON a related note, about capers, I like lox, no bagel, with lemon juice and capers as a meal.

Capers, blech.

There aren't too many foods I refuse to eat -- capers is one of them. Olives, too. And coconut. That might be it.

You CANNOT get a bagel here. There are groceries that call something round a bagel, but it's really just bagel shaped bread. I make my own. It takes half the day, but they are a pretty good substitute for a NY/NJ bagel.

My parents are in Mississippi and can't get good bagels either. Heck, even here in MA there are only a few places worth getting them.

Dramamamma,

I also hate capers, except when Doris Day sings "Cuttin Capers."

As for bagels, I like plain, poppy, and sesame, untoasted, with butter. As others have mentioned, fresh from the oven is when they taste the best. The problem for me is that the butter immediately melts into them, thereby losing its distinct flavor and texture, which I happen to like. It seems there's always a tradeoff when dealing with the best things in life.

I find Bob's Bagels on University Place to be quite good.

Bagel Bob's is my favorite in the neighborhood. Also, they have mini bagels and flagels.

I just had a toasted pumperknickle bagel with salami and provolone. By far my favorite way to eat a bagel.

I grew up in New Jersey. Breakfast, to me, is a pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel. And I can always tell where you're from in New Jersey if you call it "pork roll" or "taylor ham".

When I lived in the midwest for 2.5 years, I couldn't get a decent bagel anywhere. Nothing compares to the NY/NJ style bagel. Same goes for pizza and hot dogs.

I've only ever lived in Florida and NYC (with a brief detour in D.C.) so I couldn't even imagine living somewhere where you can't get a decent bagel. The thought scares me so much that I'm going to go out now and get some.

Pork Roll! Yum. Never had it on a bagel, but often on a good Kaiser roll with mustard!

There's very little pork roll isn't good on! (In NJ, many restaurants treat it like bacon and will put in on anything--it's great on a burger)

There is a hot dog place by me where you can get the pork roll on the hot dog too. Never had one myself, but my mom said it was good.

It's a breakfast meat that's common to NJ and eastern PA. You can occasionally find it in New York, though (Crif Dogs in Williamsburg serves it). It's also called "Taylor Ham" by some--usually people from North Jersey.

It's about the size of bologna, and a cross between a mild/fresh ham and canadian bacon.


It's usually just grilled, but wonderful.

Maybe the next time I visit my sister (outside of Philly) I'll hit a diner to have some.

Mmm. What's better than a fresh, well done bagel store sesame out of the oven? I don't need a single thing on it.

I was never too keen on bialys. I've tried flagels and liked them, but I prefer the old fashioned kind.

Re: toasting. At home this is reserved for the occasional toaster oven pizza bagel. I also enjoy a toasted bagel at the diner-- well done. I put the butter on myself because I don't like it too heavy or greasy. At the bagel store, it's fresh only. And, for me, bagel stores bagels are the only kind that will do. Not that abomination they have the temerity to call a bagel at Panera Bread.

Totally agree about only bagels are the ones at bagels stores.
Fairway always has bagels on sale......bought half dozen assorted once, they were feh, never again.

Thank G-d there's two bagel stores walking distance from me in Forest Hills.

btw, egg bagel with fresh made scallion cream cheese is my fav.

I never could get into an egg bagel, no matter how many times I tried. Neither could I like the whole wheat, rye, or blueberry.
