@farmerman,
How would he know if he doesn't pay attention to it?

And I know why he doesn't even if he snows everybody else with some other fatuous reason. He can only converse with people he considers himself superior to and who can't recognise a worthless assertion when they see one.

@farmerman,
How 'bout this, then?

I understand some folks call 'em 'twisters.' It's basically a type of French donut.

@Lustig Andrei,
Not sure what it is? A cross between a fried chocolate eclair and a doughnut?

@Lustig Andrei,
Odd that two such differently shaped and textured things have the same name.

I like the light, ruffled crullers.

The dense, rectangular ones are definitely for sharing.

@Lustig Andrei,
Googled it - afraid it doesn't look very appetising, although I'm sure it's totally delicious! What was it Farmerman said -

Gosh - what with calling clotted cream a haematoma - he does have 'colourful' descriptive powers! Wonder what he'd make of a bannock!

twisters !

I love the ones at United Bakers Dairy Restaurant with fresh cream cheese, sliced tomatoes and a handful of fries. Twister platter used to be my regular birthday breakfast order there.

@ehBeth,
Looks a lot like a poppyseed bagel. I LOVE them with whip cream cheese, thinly sliced red onions and nice generous chunks of Nova Lox.

capers if its done as an open top.

Goes great with a Ginger Beer or Doc Browns Celery Soda.

@ehBeth,
Hold the fries, but add some lox/smoked salmon, and thinly sliced onion, to the fresh cream cheese and tomato slices on one of those twisters, and throw some Kalamata olives on the side, and that's a breakfast I'd love to feast on on my birthday.

Now that does sound delicious - I'm a savoury person rather than sweet - not sure what a twister is (a tornado?), but the rest sounds totally mmmmmm.... Cool

@firefly,
a kid, I lived with my grandparents for a while and they were in this city area that was areally nationally diverse neighborhood. Their next door neighbors, the Kaplans, were an old European Jewish family but they would take care of me and my cousin every Sunday when my grandparents went to a High Sokol Mass. Mrs Kaplan would make the bagel and lox with onion and TOMATO like you said. I forgot about the tomato, but it hadda be really summer fresh with all those complex tomato flavors that have been bred out of the vegetable in order to make them more shippable from CAlifornia.
