How do you cut a bagel?

With a knife. 🤣 and nope, nope, nope to that twitter suggestion to cut it in slices.

I think this is one of the best Twitter feeds ever. Now I want a New York bagel. BTW slicing like this IS an abomination.

We have a bagel slicer, but that only works on bagels that aren't too soft. Fresh bagels still need to be cut by hand with a knife.

And now I want a sesame bagel with a big honkin' schmear of cream cheese.

A friend ordered some NY bagels from QVC for her kids at Easter...they all said they were delicious.

In half with a knife.
Though I do prefer to eat it like a sandwich with the cream cheese in the middle, rather than eating it open faced. Unless I have lox, onion and tomato, that is.

My in-laws slice them across, but in thirds instead of in half, and it is ... weird.

And if it isn’t boiled. It’s not a bagel.

Baked only! Yup that is how bagels are made out here. And soft kaiser rolls. Soft rolls!

As a NYC native, that photo broke my heart and made me want to drink

I miss bagels... 😭😭😭😭😭

I had to laugh at the KitKat with a bite out.

I've never seen one sliced that way. Not even at all the meetings that I used to have to go where 3 bagels were supposed to satisfy 40 people.

My mother had a bagel cutter.  I could never use it properly.  I use a bread knife and slice it in half, horizontally.

@megmc No need to sell your husband - Ess-a-Bagel ships nationwide. A bit pricey, admittedly, since you need to order a lot, but if you need your NYC bagel fix I highly recommend them. They're bagels, they'll freeze well. My office is a few blocks from one of their locations and I can't tell you how much I miss them. Their site says that if you sign up for their emails you'll get $10 off of your first order, too, though I'm not sure if that's for the nationwide shipping or for local orders. Not that I'm trying to enable anything....
