Well, I have had a proper New York bagel, courtesy of
Margaret. Although it was delicious, I think I like
the bagels here in Pittsburgh better, at least some
of them. There are bad and good and the good are very,
very good. But I still prefer my bagels toasted. I like
the extra crunch. I think untoasted bagels seem sort
of unfinished tasting to me. I know it's probably heresy
to toast a bagel, just like it's heresy to put ketchup
on pierogi (I though my step-grandmother who was Russian
and introduced us to pierogi was going to have a stroke
when I put ketchup on them) but I prefer them that way.
So there!
