Today's blueberry.

I wonder if anyone really loves bagels for anything more than their cream cheese delivery service?

I don't like cream cheese. I put butter on my bagels.

I love them for their butter delivery service!

I frequently eat my bagels toasted with butter instead of cream cheese (mainly because I run out of cream cheese fast, and butter is cheaper). I like bagels with peanut butter on them too, depending on what kind of bagel :)

I'm the odd one out... BUT it's got to be a REAL bagel... not the bagel shaped bread that most people think of as bagels. With a real bagel I dig out a part of the side and the hollow it out, then I eat the "crust".

YUM..... but, oh, I haven't done that in AGES and AGES and AGES because Oregonians don't know what real bagels are. *sigh*

I don't eat cream cheese (unless it's in dip format) and I love bagels, so ME!

When I eat bagels, I have them 'raw' (ie. untoasted) and plain. No delivery service. :-)

I think I would choke on them raw - I prefer them toasted with tons of butter AND cream cheese. I like plain cream cheese but I also love FLAVORED cream cheese.

Just FYI, pretzels make an excellent delivery service for warmed up cream cheese. :P

Oh I do! They have to be real bagels, which is one of the few perks of going to chicago!

I don't particularly like cream cheese so bagels don't work for me that way. Toasted with some butter - yum. Even plain with nothing on them - yum. But...they have to be real bagels. I am kind of snobby about my bagels. NY bagels are the BEST. No weird bagels either like chocolate chip or blueberry (sorry). Plain, onion, sesame, poppy those are normal flavors. I like them warmed up too. When I was pregnant and had morning sickness I would stop and get a plain bagel every morning. Worked like a charm.

I only eat real bagels sans any toppings. The people at Dunkin Donuts often look at me funny when I say I want a blueberry bagel just plain and in the bag. When I go home to RI I look forward to spinach bagels at the local sandwich shop - no cream cheese necessary!

However, the store bought mass produced ones are best with globs of cream cheese - mmmmm

My father eats them plain, but he's a plain sort of guy.

I once made croutons out of stale bagels. They were great!
