Is there anyone who eats 'em without butter or cream cheese? Anyone who eats 'em without even toasting it? (I may change to poll for this).

I use a toaster oven to toast my bagels...for some reason, the regular toaster that I used to have would make the top of the bagel a tiny little bit browner than the bottom part.

Cream cheese on an untoasted bagel.
Butter on a toasted bagel.

Asuming someone would be so stupid as to put as much on it is pretty silly too. Just cause you put a truckload of ketchup on your hamburger doesn't mean you'll also put half a gallon of Dave's Insanity sauce on it.

no, its just i've found the times i've tried to spread margarine or butter on a bagel the way i'd do with bread, it doesn't work. bagels too dense and requires much more topping else it tastes like plain dry bagel. no i've never slathered on a ton of butter, i just use cream cheese.

No one in their right mind puts ketchup on a burger. That's what the tomato is for.
BTW, Cream Cheese and smoked salmon...... all the way baby!
< smokes his own salmon. Uses BIG papers.....

Cream Cheese on the plain ones, but when I feel like I want a lighter bagel, I'll put butter on it and make sure it's toasted. mmmm

I miss the Einstein Bros Jalepeno Bagels. They ruled. They replaced them with something that's hardly comparable.
