slo’s TUESDAY 10/7 poll - Bagels For Breakfast 🥯

[mjkacmom]

Living in NJ, we have many great bagel stores. I will only eat them here or in NY. We use an app, TO GOOD TO GO, which partners with a lot of bagel shops, so for $6 we can get about 2 dozen, we wrap and freeze. My favorite one has mini bagels which is great because I usually just eat 1/2 a bagel. Most of my family will usually do Taylor ham egg cheese, I prefer cream cheese.

We usually only have bagels when company is staying with us. I like them well enough, just don't get them often. There are at least 3 places, probably more, within walking distance where we can get them - Panera, Whole Foods, and local chain Call Your Mother

I'm having a bagel today for lunch, everything w/ cream cheese & roasted cherry tomatoes.

I like plain, everything & onion. Don't want anything to do with sweet bagels...can't stand cream cheese 'spread'. Gotta be real cream cheese!

I don't dislike bagels or anything, but I also don't really love them. Like, they wouldn't be my first choice. They're fine if someone brings them into the office, but would I seek them out? Not really. I also rarely eat breakfast anyway, so I don't have much ocassion to have them.

 

[The Mayor]

Not a fan of bagels at all so I don't ever eat them. Last time I had one was many, many years ago and it felt like a cannon ball in my stomach all day. Give me a blueberry instead!!

I love a good bagel and if I’m somewhere with good bagels (looking at you NYC) I will absolutely get one. I may even bring some home. My mom has already put in her request for my New Years NYC trip. If it’s just an ok bagel it’s not worth the calories or carbs to me. I usually get plain cream cheese if it’s made by the bagel shop, if not then butter. If I eat them at home cream cheese and homemade jam, black raspberry is my favorite on a bagel.

My SIL was just here her this weekend from NOVA, brought home a giant bag of bagels.

I love bagels! Our local franchise is called Bodo's. Co-workers and I will get lunch from there occasionally. My standard order is a everything bagel w/bacon, egg & cheddar, and a sesame bagel with honey pecan cream cheese for dessert.

My last employer brought in bagels and donuts every other Friday on pay day. I started my shift at 3 am, and the bagels and donuts arrived at 10 am, so more like lunch than breakfast. Haven't had them at home in a while, but prefer salmon schmear on them. Too many carbs for me.

 

[RedAngie]

I’ll eat bagels two or three times a week, mostly for breakfast but occasionally as the bread for a lunch sandwich.

I mainly buy them at the supermarket, but once in a while I’ll drive to a independent bagel/breakfast place and buy a baker’s dozen and freeze them.

 

[MamaMermaid]

TRYING to cut down on carbs but man do I love a bagel!!! Toasted lightly with butter = perfection.

 

[Deb]

We enjoy bagels for breakfast. We’ll have them a few times a month. I do like lox, but don’t have it every time. Cream cheese, plain or vegetable is what I use. With lox I would also put on capers, lettuce and tomato, and I would have sliced onions for my sister. DH only uses cream cheese.

I like plain, poppyseed, sesame seed and pumpernickel. DH likes everything, Black Russian everything, or onion, and DSis likes Black Russian everything.
I will sometimes get a bagel breakfast sandwich out. I prefer one on an English Muffin, and those I make at home.

I've never heard of a Black Russian bagel. Looks like a pumpernickel everything bagel?

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

I love them but rarely get them. They used to be in the office one morning a week, but that stopped. Preference is an everything bagel with veggie or jalapeno cream cheese. I've also had a honey sriracha cream cheese from the grocery store that I like. If I'm at a place with free breakfast (like the US chain hotel kind of free breakfast) sometimes I'll have a plain bagel toasted with butter.

 

[amcnj]

I like them but rarely have them now. Fresh ones from a good bagel place I tended to eat plain as they had both perfect texture and great taste. By comparison a lot of bagels offered out are just not that good, so I tend to skip them.

In college we used to liberate some from the cafeteria to make pizza bagels in the dorm kitchen.

 

[Forevermarypoppins]

WE always have bagels in the house. I buy David's frozen: Pumpernickel, Everything or Cranberry Nut. My grandson consumes the most followed by my daughter, my husband, then me. I eat a HALF bagel about once a month, maybe.
Everyone likes Strawberry cream cheese or Plain. I almost never eat them anywhere but home.

 

[ncc1701]

I like bagels and occasionally have on with cream cheese or as a breakfast sandwich. But if I want some bread item with my breakfast it is a slice of toast or 1/2 English muffin with butter & jam.
I like plain, everything or cinnamon raisin

 

[design_mom]

I love bagels, but don’t eat them often because of the calories. I like a nice, toasted everything bagel with cream cheese, sliced tomatoes and deli ham for breakfast or for lunch. Yum!

 

[rndmr2]

I like bagels, Depends on where I get them and where I am (at home or in the car, etc) Sometimes I just eat it plain (in the car driving). I like things like cream cheese or butter/jelly on them.
