Mebst!

Real bagels are not toroidal muffins! If you want chocolate and dough have a babka!

Can’t get a decent babka out here in Atlanta. The best ones were at Brown’s Bakery on Victory Blvd. in North Hollywood, CA (a kosher-style bakery).

Real bagels are kneaded by stout men and women with forearms like pop-eye. They come in plain (or with toppings like sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion etc…) rye, pumpernick or black and white.

They are crispy on the outside and chewy and moist on the inside. The are at once, dense yet airy.

Speak not of your goyshe muffins to me!

Well half sarc, we can still be friends if you like even blueberry bagels :)

No one makes real bagels like I grew up with in New York down here in Jaw-jah, so youse gotta take what youse can get, ya know?

I also like blueberry bagels, and caraway seed bagels, and pumpernickel bagels, and egg bagels, but since no one down here does the bake and boil, I have to settle for what they’ve got.

And I still like chocolate chip bagels.
