Erm...I eat bagels too. Although I've never had a Noo Yoik bagel. What is a lox? Laugh ooooh x-rated? Lots of xylophones? It's a mine field.
ReplyDeleteBagels and spinach each have their place but are hardly interchangeable.
ReplyDeleteAnd multigrain bagels make old New Yorkers shudder.
Good gravy, where in the wilds of the British Isles do you live that you didn't have a bagel until 2001and you had to actually Google Goyim?! Next, you'll tell me you've never had kischke. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy first salmon and cream cheese bagel was eaten in Brick Lane a good many years ago. Very nice it was too..............
ReplyDeleteBagels! Boy do I love them. And cream cheese and lox on an onion bagel? Heaven.
ReplyDeleteGood thing we don't have them here.
lox?
ReplyDeletemy son likes bagels. he would love them with salmon and cream cheese, but I am clearly a mean mother as I give him cinnamon raisin ones with jam.... am I ruining his chance of being a professor?
I have never met a gluten free bagel.
I'm afraid I have no idea what lox is...which is embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteI always think bagels are over-rated. Crumpets are the answer, especially with Marmite or Golden syrup.
ReplyDeleteMy very favourite treat when we lived in the States was a freshly baked cinnamon raisin bagel with honey walnut cream cheese from Bruegger's Bagel Bakery.
ReplyDeleteDon't hate me.
I adore bagels....any kind, savoury or sweet BUT we don't get them up here at all!!!! Mwaaaahh :-( I have even been checking out how to make my own lately!
ReplyDeletemore of a muffin man myself
ReplyDeleteI just googled lox. You are providing educational material.
ReplyDeleteLove New York bagels, but most definitely don't love London ones. Not the same thing at all. And lox, yes!

Gasp! Multi-grain!!! 2001!!!! My, so many exclamation marks, I have certainly exceeded my quota for the week.
ReplyDeleteI adore bagels and am shocked that you arrived to them so late. I am with Miss M, her diet sounds excellent and I must add that I finished the last of the cinnamon bagels yesterday for elevenses/second breakfast.
I have wonderful bagel memories from the wild weekends of my youth, it was a wonderful treat to return to North East London in the wee small hours of the weekend and cue up for a bag of still warm bagels, the perfect hangover cure.
I don't have strong feelings about bagels. Clearly this puts me in the minority.
ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to stop by and say how much Ive enjoyed reading your Blog - its my first visit and I will be coming back again, your photography and words are wonderful!
Much love

Well, I don't think a lemon slice has any reason to be hanging around near a bagel. Maybe that's the problem? (I'm starving, and would love a bagel at the moment.)
ReplyDeleteI'm eating a bagel as I type this, and though I don't have one every day I sometimes wish I did!
ReplyDelete(also, despite years of bagel eating I too was perplexed by lox)
I ate bagels everyday of my university life. Everyday.
ReplyDeleteHaving worked for a Jewish family for a year I got to know bagels very well.
ReplyDeleteI think the world would be a sadder place without them, BUT they have to be toasted to perfection, too much and they get hard, too little and they stay too stodgy... but toast them right and smother them in cream cheese... heaven.
We had bagels for lunch today... toasted with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon.
