He was an orthodox bagelist -- plain bagels and maybe egg bagels. A conservative bagelist will eat sesame, onion, garlic, salt, and raisin bagels. A reform bagelist accepts exotic toppings and fillings. There is no name for bagelists who eat Lenders or Sarah Lee bagels -- they're totally beyond the pale. I had a coupon for Kraft bagel bits and went shopping one day when I was hungry. After fixing one and deciding it was like eating cheesy cardboard, I threw out the rest of the box.

Love it--I guess that puts me into the category of conservative, something I'm not generally described as being.

If you don't like Kraft or Lender or Sarah Lee, don't even go near the shelf that holds Thomas bagels.

I believe they are called "goy who doesn't know any better". :)

It is almost impossible to buy "real" bagels, The only ones I know of are made in Montreal, cooked in a long narrow brick oven with glowing hardwood coals on the right side of the oven,bagels on the left. The alternative is to make them, and that is not difficult and worth the effort if you really enjoy them. There is only one bagel in my humble opinion, just a plain bagel with its wonderful texture and taste. Ruby

I think that makes me a conservative bagelist, but only if I can have the sesame, onion, garlic, *and* salt at the same time. Would that make me an adventuresome conservative? My mother calls these "garbage" bagels (as in, has everything including the kitchen sink.) I call them delicious.

Can't stand "sweet" bagels, though raisin is tolerable. Chocolate does NOT belong in a bagel, IMHO. (Save it for croissants!) Though I have developed a taste for toasted Asiago cheese bagels for a sandwich...

Now pure croissant, that's all whole 'nother argument.

I had an asiago cheese bagel from Paneros for dinner last night. That and a good tomato is heaven.

Oo! Oo! My friend, PDC, comes from Asiago! She raves about the cheese, but on account of Oz quarantine laws, can't bring me any to taste. Snif!

Probably like Norwegian nokkelost. I grew up on it, and love it to this day. Creamy cheese with caraway seeds in it. But it's made from unpasteurized milk, so it's no longer allowed to be sold in the US (sniff!) My mom and brother just visited Norway last month, and that's what they each brought home with their souvenirs! (I didn't get any....I live too far away.)

I did find a similar Dutch cheese once in Wegman's, but not quite the real thing!

In Quebec they still have cheese made from Raw Milk. It carries a warning on the label and is oh so good ! However, somebody died recently from Listeriosis eating some of that cheese (nothing to do with the deli meat scandal) - you might find you could order something similar from Montreal.

Ah yes, green milk. Illegal I believe but you can still obtain "under the counter" supplies if you know where to look!
