[QUOTE=Billdo] Wait one minute! You’re eating a sweet abomination like a cinnamon-raisn bagel and you presume to complain that such travesties are allowed to travel with actual, worthwhile savory bagels. If you want somewhere garlic-free, feel free to go elsewhere than a bagel shop. I suppose, thinking about it, I agree with you that sweet bagels should not be put with savory bagels, but where I differ is that sweet bagels should not be put anywhere at all, save the trash where they belong. [/QUOTE] I knew I’d see the above post. You know, the cinnamon-raisin bagels from your bagel place are super-wonderfully-awesome, and even if I have no business being in your neighbourhood, I always go there when we get to the city. ALWAYS. So there. ---

[/QUOTE] I’m not 100% in love with your tone regarding sweet bagels. Cinnamon Raisin bagels have been seen along side savories for as far back as I can remember (and I’m 35 AND I used to live in New York). Now if you’re talking about dumbass Blueberry or Krunchy Karamel Fun bagels or some such shit from Jimmy’s Superhip Squagel Hut, then you’ve got a point, and a rumble won’t be necessary… but the cinnamon raisin bagel? C’mon, what will you insult next? the communion host? ---

[QUOTE=fatgail] but the cinnamon raisin bagel? C’mon, what will you insult next? the communion host? [/QUOTE] Well, I will admit that of all of the sweet bagels, the cinnamon-raisin is the only thing even vaguely close to the acceptable range of bagels (and they get points because **Gingy** likes them), but they are still grossly out of place among the classic bagels of yore. And with all due respect to those that nibble them on a regular basis, I wouldn’t expect to find the communion host in a classic bagel shop, either. ---

[QUOTE=fatgail] I…have been around this great big world and i’ve seen all kinds of breakfast tasties. As of late, I am venturing back to an old standby- the cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese. [/QUOTE] Funny thing… I used to eat that bagel pretty much every day, but stopped quite a few years ago. Coincidentally, I had one this AM for the first time in, I can’t remember how long. ---
