Hi folks
During the last couple of years, a new phenomenon has hit the New Zealand
market-place.
Bagels.
I've seen street-side signs saying "Bagels freshly boiled today" and others.
So this week I thought I'd try a packet of them. And I am totally baffled
about their apparent popularity elsewhere in the world.
I wonder what people do to make them edible.
To me they are a moderately boring version of the old doughnut (also totally
boring) and rather tough and excessively chewy as well. ( OK, my teeth are
not up to hard work like they used to be).
What do people ( 'murricans in particular ;-> ) do to them prior to inserting
them in their mouths? What is the attraction?
A curious and baffled mind would like to know.
Brian (feeling rather curmudgeonly about bagels - and BTW, where's our
resident curmudgeon these days?)
