Not Moi. Bagels with cream cheese (un-toasted). Yum.

My toaster has a bagel switch so I just assumed...

Poptarts, not that I've had one in decades, does mention toasting them in
the instructions. I think the commercial shows that occurring?

What planet are you newly arrived from? 😉

I love toasted Bagels. :-)
That slight crunch adds to their texture.

Can't stand pop-[censored]. Toaster Strudel is FAR superior.

A> My toaster has a bagel switch so I just assumed...

Tho' bread is my toaster's most usual use, I toast bagels if
they have been previously frozen and also pita bread. To avoid
serious accidents, I nuke a frozen bagel for 30 seconds before
slicing it for the toaster. Fresh bagels are fine just as bought
and taste much better than toasted, IMHO. I also toast frozen
bread; it takes about twice as long as unfrozen.

If I have time, I prefer to defrost frozen bagels in the oven.
The timing there is whatever it takes to to bring a cold oven to
350F.

Other. Up until that trip where I was cooking the eggs benedict
(hollandaise mix thread a while back), I didn't even own a toaster. I
purchased a toaster for that trip and so far it was used for english
muffins then and hasn't been used since.

It depends on the bagels. The cheapest bagels we get around here are
horrible. The best we can get locally are not very good. I usually only
get bagels when I am in Montreal because they are so good there. Anything
else is just a cheap
imitation.

My toaster is used almost exclusively for ..... toast. Once in a while
lightly toast a leftover waffle.

I can't believe English Muffins didn't make the cut for named choices.

My toaster oven sees lots of homebaked bread, bagels, English Muffins and
the occasional left-over biscuit. Though I rarely make them, it has even
toasted Bialy's; but, it has never seen a poptart/toaster-pastry

You say that because you've never had a proper New York bagel. That's
the real thing. Here's to bagels!

I never met a toasted bagel until I moved from New York. Strange
concept. That's when I found out good bagels are hard to find elsewhere.
The ones you find, might as well toast them.

Bialy's what? And was it painful?

I have never had a New Work bagel, but I have it on good advice from people
who have had both that Montreal bagels are as good or better. They are
incredible. There is nothing like them around here.

There's a bakery we sometimes go to when we drive into town. They have
a big sign in their window saying "Best Bagels In Town." I always
laugh. The bagels are HORRIBLE here so saying you have the best isn't
saying much. They make spectacular croissants so we get those.

Then the folks around here think they're eating bagels, but they're
really a sort of doughnut shaped bread. Not bad, but not the real deal.
A true bagel is hard, not stale hard, more dense chewy hard. (Uh-oh.
I can just see it. The cucumber thread is going to show up here.)

Y'all are either too dense to notice or groaning silently. No one
mentioned that I changed the subject line and then said "Here's to bagels!"?

I don't think it would do much for their sales of the sign was honest and
said "Horrible Fresh Bagels" :-)

I would rather have a mediocre croissant than a good bagel.

Must be dense. I noticed the subject line and read the "Here's to bagels!"
but must have missed the significance.
