OldGoat:
Move over, ambrosia, a fresh out of the oven poppy seed bagel, cooled down just enough to put in your mouth without burning it, is Food of the Gods. 

A little shipping goes a long, long way.

Those who praise raisins have never kept rabbits.

That is all.

I beg to differ on that point even though I agree wholeheartedly on every negative point made regarding raisins so far.

The following list is some of the more positive uses of raisins

* Ground with poppy seeds and used in baked goods
* As part of a white wine sauce on chicken - though most find this too sweet and requires a long cooking time
* Golden Raisins in Porridge. What you Americans call oatmeal. They are first soaked then water brought to a boil before adding the meal and cooking.
* Again Golden Raisins but this time used in Stolen. Think of it as the likeable predecessor to fruitcake and cousin to Panettone.

Don't get me wrong, I love raisins. I have them in my morning oa... porridge, and love oatmeal raisin cookies.  Cinnamon's good too, in the appropriate place.  But I'm a bagel purist.  I grew up in a Jewish household in the 60's and 70's, long before sweet bagels were a thing (blueberry?  Really?  THIS IS NOT A MUFFIN!!). 

Bagels, to me, are a basic bread, but they can be savory (toasted onion, the aforementioned poppyseed, sesame, and I'd KILL for a good egg bagel - nobody around here carries them, I've not seen one in nearly 20 years). 

Toasted with a shmear of cream cheese and some thin sliced nova lox, they are the perfect food, handed down from god to Moses (the stone tablets were just there to hold the bagels...).  Sweet does not hold up well under Nova lox. 

Although I was fond of the Bialy bagels that a local place had in the 80's when I was in college - seemed to be an "everything" bagel, poppyseeds, sesame seeds, onions, kosher salt, and a few other things I was never clear on but they were delicious (a bit messy in the toaster, though). 

So that's my bagel story.  Sorry to have hijacked the last day of the week...

Not a hijacking at all, just thread-drift.  I tend to prefer everything bagels, with either the aforementioned cream cheese and lox, but adding tomatoes, and red onion.  If those aren't available, I go with hummus with said tomatoes and onions.
