Here's the 'ultimate' in bagels. My New Years Gift to all bagel lovers.
c.i.
They still look like donuts to me
Wilso, You gotta get out of the house once in awhile to a bagel store. Then, you'll know the difference between donuts and bagels.
c.i.
Don't know that I've ever seen a bagel store. I'll have to check this out.
Wilso, You don't have to go to a bagel store. Most supermarkets carry them! c.i.
c.i., are you sure that antipodean supermarkets will stock them?
Antipodean supermarkets stock them where I come from...
You have all my sympathy . . . you're not required to eat them, are you? I can think of no earthly use for a bagel--they're not even very good as doorstops . . .
Ohmigod - you be courting death tonight, Setanta!
Okay. So you've got bagels, even if you do confuse them with donuts (shaking head sadly). There is an odd bread-like form we find here in the states labeled Australian Toaster Muffins. Do you Antipodeans really eat those?
Apparently Wilso lives in the bush. Oddly enough, the dogs got to split a bagel this morning. We didn't have anything to give them to chew on, so we gave 'em a stale bagel. Kept 'em occupied for longer than you'd think...
One of the many wonderful things about canine companions, they are so easily pleased. Anything remotely edible which is difficult to chew is a joy to a dog . . .
Anyone ever try Bagel Bites? These are in the frozen food section and are basically little bagel pizzas. Truly disgusting.
We eat them - but we call them muffins, or English muffins...
With all due respect, it's very hard to get a good bagel in America -- never mind down there, where you all smear vegemite on bread.
But a good 'un, from New York or the right places in New Jersey or Chicagoland or even Los Angeles or Berkeley or San Francisco, with a properly large shmear of whipped cream cheese and some lox...
Goddamnit I'm hungry...
I hated bagels until we found Noah's. What a revelation.
By the way, bagel bites and English Muffins have nothing in common.
If you're turned on to Noah's, you've gotta get out east and have the real thing. Good God almighty, that is something else. Just remember that "everything" out there includes salt.

From my (admittedly limited) experience, bagels and food have nothing in common![/color]
