Preparation
A bagels is a hefty undertaking, a meal in and of itself, a joy. To dissemble its carefully kneaded and risen dough to flimsy lil slices is to disrespect the person who put it together with love. That person did not bake it exactly to the right crunchy-meets-airiness for you to slice it down so that you get neither of those textures! Like, what!?While bagels don’t require a spread, they…well, they do. Bagel-intended spreads are thicc and luscious. They are not meant for something flimsy like bread! They are meant for a monster—a vessel that can safely hold about a quarter-inch of cheese, fish, and more from the plate to your mouth. When’s the last time you stacked lox on top of a pile of cream cheese onto soft toast and didn’t have it all come crashing down on your face? When, you animal??I don’t know. I’m just upset. If you’re going to murder bagels, do it in the privacy of your own home. Don’t tweet about it.
