Love bagel sandwiches. Almosts every place in CNY offered up bagel sandwiches as a way to sell more after the breakfast crowd was gone. I love hummous, havarti, and roasted red peppers on a bagel! Or a good turkey and swiss with horseradish mustard. My favorite though is honey walnut raisin cream cheese on an everything bagel. The mixture of the savory and sweet flavors is something I can’t get enough of.

Onion Bagel, boursin garlic cheese, genoa salami, red onion, and nice ripe slice of tomato!……Chow heaven!

Nothing like a good NY bagel with some great lox, whipped cream cheese and a fresh tomato slice… and you can’t get good bagels in KY.. I have to order H & H… around here.. the so called bagels taste like donuts with arthirtis

Toasted green chile bagel with turkey and melted swiss cheese.

I prefer smoked whitefish instead of lox eh

Tuna fish salad is great on a bagel

Also open faced grill cheese on a bagel

And really good: Open face tuna fish salad covered with cheese on a bagel, then grilled!!!

yum

Now this would be out of place![:)]-pb

Lox, cream cheese, and green onion

I did have one bagel sandwich in my lifetime. When I was in high school, there was a chain store named Bagel Nosh on Chestnut Street in Philly that had all types of bagels and sandwiches. In those days, it was a real gentile novelty.

My friend talked me into having a ham and swiss on a bagel and I remember being surprised at how weird it was compared to the bagels we’d have at one of my Jewish neighbor’s house – just cut in half and spread with cream cheese.

What’s the difference between a "real bagel" and a "chain bagel"?

A real bagel is boiled before being baked. IMHO the best real bagels are in the NYC area and vicinity. Some say it’s "the water". I’m not sure, I just know that they taste better.

When I was pregnant with my third child at least two or three mornings a week I enjoyed scallion cream cheese on an everything bagel. Now, when I want to treat myself, it’s Taylor Ham and cheese on any kind of bagel!

Now there’s a word I haven’t heard spoken in a very long time. [:D]
