See, now I've never tried the onion, sesame and other "savory" varieties because in my mind, bagels have always been sweet. I look at them in the store sometimes, but I just can't wrap my brain around the idea. I do have a friend that loves onion bagels with veggie cream cheese, though.
When you say NY bagels, do you mean ones actually from New York? Or does the New York Style brand in the store fit the bill? I've seen those, and they're just a *smidge* larger in size...
Funny how you see bagels as sweet and I see them as savory. When I say NY bagels, I mean a bit of both. NY style and actually from NY. I grew up in NY (Staten Island) and now we live 45 minutes away from Manhattan. Many delis here get their bagels delivered from bakeries in the city or they make them themselves in the NY style. Not only are they bigger but they are made differently. First they are boiled, then they are baked. Plus I swear it has to do with the water. The NY water adds something. Sorry - didn't mean to write a dissertation on the superiority of NY bagels. :)
