lupestripeWelcome to my new irregular feature Bagel Watch. It'll be a bit like Badger Watch but with less Bill Oddie and more bread. And fewer badgers obviously. Unless a suited badger has decided to break from the monotony of the office and grab a cool refreshing bagel to satiate his hunger. And remember, there may be a slight chance that you will acquire TB if you come into contact with a bagel so check with your doctor first.
So without further ado, and with the anticipation ofrainbow_lioness largely in mind let me move swiftly on to tell you about the bagel I had on Sunday afternoon. Wolfie and I had an hour to kill before we went to see the Transformers so we decided to visit the local Bagel Nash where I purchased a cream cheese bagel without the cucumber. May I note without the cucumber. It's important. Because cucumber is rancid.
Three minutes and a packet of Salty Dog crisps later (sour cream and onion flavour no less - or was it cream cheese and chive?) my bagel was presented to me on a cheap plastic plate with Bagel Nash embossed on it. As it was cut in half and the waitress wasn't too dexterous I had to place the pieces together like a gastronomic jigsaw in order to form the bagel hole. But my what a hole it was - full of creamy cheese and oh so tempting. And it was delicious. The cheese perhaps was a little thick but the bagel was warm and done to perfection. Overall top notch! Even the fussiest of badgers would have had a nibble.
Lupestripe's Rating: 8/10 (improved by one point due to the amusing remarks on the back of the crisps packet - including the joke "What do you call an Italian astronaut? - A specimen").
