I start taking a one-week class this morning, and we were enticed to come early for the “coffee and breakfast snacks.” The coffee is okay, but the bagels are those fake, baked bagels (not boiled) that taste almost like regular bread. Yuck.
Um, okay? Not sure if this is the right place for your post but, I guess I sympathize with you?
Oh no! – I thought I was in MPSIMS! Mods, could someone move this? Thanks!

p.s. This really is mundane, pointless stuff. 
Just to sympathize, I don’t like those “dinner roll” bagels either.
They’re not bagels - they’re round bread. If you think of them as rolls, they’ll be less disappointing.
I’ve had the “fake bagels” they sell at Costco. Yeah, round bread.
OK, I’m a newbie on this subject ,but can someone tell me how to tell the difference? I don’t know how to make bagles. I like them, but I guess I always assumed they were baked.
They are baked, but they’re boiled first.

Bagels are traditionally made by:
[ul][li] mixing and kneading the ingredients to form the dough[/li][li] shaping the dough into the traditional bagel shape, round with a hole in the middle[/li][li] proofing the bagels for at least 12 hours at low temperature (40-50 degrees F = 4.5-10°C)[/li][li] boiling each bagel in water that may or may not contain additives such as lye, baking soda, barley malt syrup, or honey[/li][li] baking at between 175°C and 315°C (about 350 to 600 degrees F)[/ul][/li][/quote]
The people who make these so called “bagels” should without exception be rounded up by the baker’s dozen and shot in the face.
When you bite 'em, they fight back.
Real bagels have a texture that is much firmer than bread. Fake bagels don’t.
If it’s sweet (blueberry, cinnamon-raisin, or whatever), it is not a real bagel, regardless of texture. (Mr. Neville’s Law of Real Bagels)
I know we’re not technically in MPSIMS yet, but, if you say bagel around 50 times in a row, it stops sounding like a word anymore.

Fun for the whole family.
And if you say ladle… 
I’ll get you pat, and your little dog too! :eek:
mmmm, mushroom bagels.
Moving thread from IMHO to MPSIMS.
Hell, I thought you meant actual fake food! As in, for display only. headdesk
At least they fed you.
“Crepe! Crepe! Ohhhhh, it’s a crepe!”

I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
I too, have always maintained that if I wanted a sweet bagel, I’d buy a donut instead.
And they should not be fluffy, either.
