Going Native
A friend's in vising from out of town this weekend and he, rather thoughtfully, brought me some proper New York-style bagels with the hard crusts like you can't get here in DC. Naturally enough, I decided to cut and toast one this morning for breakfast. Less naturally, I totally forgot how to operate on a bagel of that consistency and sliced one of the fingers on my left hand pretty nicely. Apparently you can take the NYC out of the boy.

I believe the trick here is to bleed onto the seafoam green floors. The color contrast should be pleasing.

Those soft things you get in DC aren't bagels, they're rolls with a hole in the middle.

A hand surgeon once told me that complex cases pay for the yacht, but bagel slicing accidents pay the mortgage and kids' tuition bills.

If I ever make home bagel consumption a regular part of my life, I'll make sure to get a bagel slicer.

Wait. They make bagels without hard crusts? What are they like, big tubes of soft bread?

Yes indeed. Here in the provinces, the crust is at least a little hard but, in essence, as Chuchundra said you're looking at a roll that happens to contain a hole in the center.

Sad but true. The DC area is not the place to find a decent bagel. Aside from the lack of crust, out here in Frederick they tend to make "everything" bagels without salt. What's that all about? They should call them something bagels.

"If I ever make home bagel consumption a regular part of my life, I'll make sure to get a bagel slicer."
If you're spending time in Philly and not eating bagels regularly, you're seriously missing out. Philly is one of the few places on the planet where you can get good bagels.

I'm tired of these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking bagel.
Posted by: Petey | Aug 20, 2006 12:49:08 PM
Best place I found in the DC area to get bagels was a place called Chesapeake Bagel Bakery, which wasn't bad by NY standards. This was in Arlington, and 10 years ago, though... I thought I read something about being able to get H&H in DC somewhere, but I could be mistaken.
Posted by: Al | Aug 20, 2006 1:11:27 PM
Petey's right about bagels in Philly; there's a good place on 3rd Street between South and Bainbridge. And do get a bagel slicer. It makes it so much easier.

Toast?? Who would toast a fresh bagel? Toasting is strictly for day-olds!
PS- real New Yorkers call New York "New York." Out-of-towners say "New York City."
PPS - decent bagels in DC: Whatsa Bagel, at Connecticut and Ordway -- same ownership runs Bethesda Bagels, on Bethesda Ave. in (surprise!) Bethesda.

Having spent my formative years in Michigan and Tennessee, I've never gotten the whole bagel thing--it's bread, and it's white flower. Eww. What a waste of good carbs.

"it's bread, and it's white flower. Eww. What a waste of good carbs."
You can do some wonderful things with white flour. Good bagels are wonderful. French baguettes and croissants, likewise.
Just because Wonder Bread is no fun is no reason to indict all white flour breads.

injuries while slicing bagels are incredibly common. seriously. hence all the silly bagel slicing/holding contraptions, which work very well.
Posted by: dj superflat | Aug 21, 2006 3:39:39 PM
You brag about its virtues, but then TOAST it? A good bagel should be eaten as is, or if a day old - reheated in the oven and then sliced. I'd only slice and "toast" a bagel if it was one of those evil frozen concoctions that used to be sold (Lenders?) But then again, they came pre-sliced.
Posted by: rbrech | Aug 22, 2006 2:15:45 PM
You do know that there is a chewy, Montreal-style bagel, right?
I've worked in a bagel shop in Michigan, making dough and baking, and I'm pretty sure the hard crust comes from boiling the dough in a big kettle for thirty seconds or so before putting it in the oven. To go by what my boss told me, a lot of bagel places don't bother to do that.
