Unless you are in NYC or in very particular places in NJ or CT right next to NYC, you will never have a good or even decent bagel. They simply don't exist in other parts of the country. It's a shame, it sounds like snobbish exaggeration, but it is the truth. And yes, you are always going to put cream cheese on it, though not everyone elects to have it toasted. They are delicious when fresh.


Some people claim that Montreal bagels are as good or better than NY bagels. Don't believe their lies. They are tragically misinformed.

Gotcha.

My favorite is the asiago or the everything.

Yeah, the company usually just has someone go to Panera bread and buy a ton. None are amazing, but I nab their asiago cheese bagel. Adds some extra taste and actually a better nutrient profile than regular.

lol I just picked one at random, there's a million interested chefs out there who want to know if it's the water.

You should ask Panera if they poach the bagels and leave them overnight to ferment.

[im2manly]

Everything bagels with cream cheese or Taylor Ham, double egg, cheddar, and ketchup is what life is about

[chazzy1864]

Perhaps I will if I ever actually go to Panera and get a bagel.



a2m... ketchup should not touch eggs. Groce.

Ketchup on eggs is pretty good, long as you have some texture like hash browns or toast. (or a bagel as Manly said)

Yes.

Whatever helps you justify it to yourself.

On the same token, you're justifying something to yourself also.

Sriracha on eggs is great. Ketchup on eggs is not.

Hot sauce on eggs is great. Ketchup on eggs is not.


Red condiments on eggs can be great. Ketchup on eggs is not.

[darinaldi]

Ketchup is a subpar, overly sweet condiment. It's a good on fried potato products like french fries or hash browns, and it's good when combined with mustard and/or relish on a hot dog or hamburger, or even sometimes on meatloaf. But that's about it. People who smother their food in ketchup have no taste buds and should probably stick to getting their nutrients through Ensure shakes; people who put ketchup on eggs are monsters.

Ketchup isn't really meant for anyone over 23 years old, IMHO.

I put Habanero Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce on eggs.

I'm not sure what kind of creature this makes me.

One that is exponentially more desirable than the type that puts ketchup on eggs.

[chazzy1864]

Ketchup isn't really meant for anyone over 23 years old, IMHO.

In what ended up being a large never-ending debate amongst my friends in VA, I scolded a buddy for using ketchup with his chicken nuggets (instead of any other form of dipping sauce). I ended up calling him a child and saying that once you're over 10 years old, you should be old enough and smart enough to not use ketchup.

Turns out more friends than I expected liked to use ketchup for their nuggets. But they were only about 1/4 or 1/3 of the group.

[Dominik]

I see the good folks on Avery Island have already experimented with this concoction.



Close, but no cigar.

Habanero Tabasco is vastly superior to the weak sauce original and I highly doubt they can do a better Worcestershire sauce than the Brits.

Here's a dose of truth for ya

If you don't like raw oysters you aren't allowed to make judgments on good taste

I didn't like them the one time I had them, but the restaurant I went to wasn't that great, so they could have just been subpar oysters.

I do, though, love fried oyster po boys.

IMO this is eggs true love.

Groce.

My sister and dad love raw oysters. My mom and I hate them. Well I dislike oysters in general, raw or otherwise.

Hey, you are a good egg

[im2manly]

Lets be reality. If you do not like Bluemoon, you are not a beer snob--you're just an angushole. If you do not like ketchup, you do not have superior taste buds--you're just an angushole. It is really as simple as that

[darinaldi]

Disagree. There's a huge difference between saying "I don't like oysters" and "Oysters are terrible and the only people who like them are German double-amputee granny porn–watching Florida–Georgia Line fans."

[chazzy1864]

Blue moon is useful for getting stupid girls drunk. It is drinkable, but there are vastly superior options available; even inside the line of "Crap Americanized wheat beers that include fruit slices for some stupid assed reason" beers.

Ketchup is useful on certain foods, as already mentioned by Naldo. It is edible, but there are vastly superior options available' especially in regards to condiments to be paired with eggs.

LOL.

While there's some degree of chacun à son goût here, there are still standards.

Compared to any good pizzeria, Domino's is objectively subpar pizza. That is indisputable by anyone who is not psychotic. That doesn't mean that everyone who likes Domino's is an idiot, but it means that they are eating a product that is vastly inferior to the best examples of the genre.

Compared to the best witbiers, Blue Moon and Shock Top are mediocre. Despite the crap that I give you here, that also doesn't mean that everyone who likes drinking Blue Moon is an idiot, but it means that they are drinking a product that is inferior to the best examples of the genre.

Ketchup on eggs is still appalling.

Can you find that on PornHub?

Also, I'm thinking same goes for escargot. Holy crap how can anyone not like escargot.
