cream cheese
heresy!
Ok, maybe not heresy, but I can't stand cream cheese. I can't even eat desserts that have it as an ingredient, since I can always taste it in them.
Guess that means you won't be wanting your cinnamon roll. Mind if I have it?

Cinnamon rolls are FANTASTIC if they have that white sugar glaze on them. You can pry those out of my cold, dead, sugary hands.
That one over there with the cream cheese on it you can gladly have as long as you keep it as far from me as possible.

Many recipes (though admittedly not all) have cream cheese in the white glaze.

Which is why I'm VERY selective about what cinnamon rolls I'll eat.

I dunno. It has something to do with that tang it has that's never sat right with me.

@e4tmyl33t Wouldn't a spread based on sunflower or vegetable oil be a better idea?
For what?
For reducing the risk of coronary heart disease while enjoying delicious hot bagels.
A lot of them really aren't any healthier and if they don't taste a good as butter one might be inclined to use more.
Or as a lube. Your choice.
Sounds slippery.

@e4tmyl33t Oh, man, my favorite recipe for alfredo sauce starts with butter and cream cheese. It is a magical food.
I dunno. It has something to do with that tang it has that's never sat right with me.
Then again, I've always been weird with my food tastes. Can't stand sour cream, can't stand tomatoes (except for Campbell's tomato soup with an herb mix added), can't stand bell peppers...I apparently used to really like salami as a kid but either I ate so much of it I got sick of it or I changed somewhere and now I can't stand it...

@boomzilla said in Red Lobster has some fucked up lobster dishes:
The studies on butter vs butter substitutes go back and forth, which probably means you're doing yourself more harm by worrying about stuff like that than you are by eating it. In any case, you should be putting cream cheese on the bagel, not butter.
I remember reading an article about the lipid hypothesis (that saturated fats cause heart disease). The article talked about how heart attacks due to blocked arteries were rare until the last 100 years, and how the doctors at the time objected to the theory on the grounds that an old food couldn't possibly be causing a new disease.

No matter what science you follow-- really-- if you're eating a quarter pound of butter on a regular basis, you need to worry less about a heart attack, and more about your internal organs-- well-- getting so lubed that they just slip out.

Thankfully it's not a regular basis. I tend to...forget...to grocery shop for a while and even when I do I only periodically grab the bagels when I'm particularly in the mood for them, so they tend to be a "A couple of days for one week every two months" kinda thing.

a full stick of butter being 113 grams
That's about a quarter pound, which my very brief research indicates is a 'stick'.
Sounds about right, since you usually buy a pound of butter as a box that contains 4 sticks.
I wonder why the US sells it in 1/4lb sticks, and we Brits sell it in
1lb454g bricks?It's America, they probably double as candy bars

Only after you deep fry them.

Wha...I don't even...some people need a hobby.
-
@izzion a hobby like cutting bagels into interesting shapes?
-
@Jaloopa Y'know, I've heard about cream cheese and lox so many times, but never known what lox is until now.
Why don't they just call it salmon?
-
@RaceProUK I've never heard of lox, and hadn't actually read the article, just found the first result in a Google search that had some diagrams.

Just going back to the butter bagel conversation for a minute...
This was my breakfast today.
Obviously post-melting but pre-sop-soaking.
-
@e4tmyl33t Weird moment of my day (so far): my parents used to have that exact same design of dinner plate.
-
@RaceProUK I got mine at a local church bazaar flea market. Came with a bunch of plates, saucers, some teacups I think (those are probably still packed in a box somewhere), got the whole lot for about 20 bucks. Not bad for decent japanese stoneware plates.

It's there to make sure the cream cheese explodes properly.

Sure you can, it just requires turning the bagel 90 degrees along the x-axis, then the y-axis, then the z-axis, then the Ω-axis.

You fool! You'll destroy us all!

1lb454g bricks?You can get butter by the pound either way in the US: divided into 4 4-oz sticks, or in one solid brick. Either way, the box it comes in is the same size and shape.
Apparently at least some brands even sell a pound divided into 8 2-oz half-sticks, although I can't recall seeing those before.

Land O Lakes packaged like that was on sale once so I bought some. The little sticks were so cute!

First of all, I don't think he really sliced his double-decker bagel the way either of the videos showed. You can clearly see that he just cut to the middle in a zig zag; the outside of the cut doesn't wrap all the way around from the outside of the bagel to the inside of it. The top side of his bagel still goes all the way around; it's not been cut across:
The bagels in both videos, however, do not; the cuts clearly go across both the top and bottom of the bagel:
She actually did cut along a mobius strip (and the proof is that, since the two sides of the knife actually formed one side of the mobius strip, the bagel has only one cut surface -- it's one long strip).
Also, her voice is unbelievably annoying.
George Hart's video, on the other hand, is not a mobius strip, but it's not the author's mobius strip fail either. His cut formed two separate interlocking pieces of the bagel; each of those two pieces has a cut surface, so there are two sides to the cut surface, not one. It's not cut along a mobius strip. But even there, you can see that the cut does go all of the way around the top and bottom sides:
Two pieces, two sides, not a mobius strip. His cut had a whole twist instead of a real mobius strip's half twist.

Any old knife will do that. You just have to cut the toasted parts off and throw them away.
