I think bagels are more of a North American phenomenon. Onion bagels are not normally something I eat either (I'm a bit of a purist and I prefer poppy seed, sesame seed or plain ;) ), but on occasion they can be quite tasty. The onion flavour is very intense because the bits of onion have essentially been roasted right into the bagel.

I find they are especially good the way Chan describes because the unctuous smoothness of the cream cheese and the juicy tang of tomato perfectly compliment what can otherwise be a somewhat overpowering bagel. And the bacon... well that depends on how carnivorous I'm feeling at the time. :p

Though my personal choice is a poppy seed bagel (toasted of course :D ), slathered with smoked salmon cream cheese and then topped by thinly sliced red onion and dotted with a few well placed capers... Yum! :cool:

Sometimes I just have toasted habaneros for breakfast. When I'm feeling mean. :mad:

Toast should be eaten butter-side down - no wait, that was bread. Carry on. :D

Was peanut butter ever mentioned for toast.

Onion bagles are almost as tasty as garlic bagels.

The only topping for french toast is ketchup.

I have spoken.

no, but I think of it as a wondrful sandwich filling. I'll have a try this evening though, and see how it is. it's not too bad on crumpets, but a bit too thick and sticky.

Peanut butter, applied to toasted bread, then combined with Polaner's All Fruit, rocks. :)

I concur with Chan but it must be washed down with an ice cold beer while listening to a nice Help/Slipknot/Franklin's on a warm summer morn.
