Everything else goes on bread!

Absolutely!

Also, everyone should be aware that unless your bagels are made with high gluten flour, and are boiled prior to baking, then they are not really bagels. I have, unfortunately, sampled some mighty poor bagels (including, of course, the junk that Dunkin’ Donuts sells), and I can tell you that, to an aficianado of the classic bagel, much of what is sold in the hinterlands is not really a bagel. Instead, most of what is sold outside of NYC and a few other fortunate locales is actually sort of a "Wonderbread" version of the real thing.
