Ymm, Bagels and Lox

[Lavabe]

Okay, where have you had the best bagels and lox?

For me, it was Highbury Stadium, 1996, London. I totally did NOT expect this. It just wowed me. Great bagel, cream cheese, and lox. It was also followed by a good pint of English Bitters. WHAT a combo!

Steven: Goldberg's finishes a distant third place.

I don't like lox.

Good bagels come from NYC, just like pastrami and corned beef! :D

I don't like lox either. But, I do like bagels, pastrami and corned beef.

[DukePA]

No lox for me either. My favorite bagels are at the New York Bagel & Bialy Company on Touhy Ave Lincolnwood, IL. Sesame with cream cheese and cucumber slices are my favorite. Ymmmm, bagels! I want one now!

Wow, can't believe you mentioned that place! My dad would take me there all the time growing up....haven't been back there in a while though....need to go back! I'd always get mish mosh bagels (a.k.a everything) with chive cream cheese and lox.....yum! I'm not a big salmon fan, but having had lox so many times I've grown to like lox. Just don't plan on going on a date after eating that combo!

[Jarhead]

I don't like lox.

That's too bad, Oz. Salmon is a staple in my diet, but it has been a very long time since I've had any lox. Actually, I prefer my salmon cooked on the grill, but sometimes, for convenience, the good ole George Foreman Grill gets put to use. I've had different kinds of salmon in Norway, one they even called lox, but it was a bit different. Less salty. As with most salmon, I liked it

There's no bad bagels. Even those small ones that come in packages from standard regional bakeries are ok if that's all you can get. Cream cheese is a must with a bagel, but just as I use mustard with my favorite soft pretzels, I've tried different kinds of mustard with my bagels just for variety. By the way, pastrami belongs in a Ruben sandwich, not on a bagel.

[Bluedog]

There's no bad bagels.

I beg to differ. Dunkin Donuts bagels = TERRIBLE. I do like their donuts though....

[sue71]

No lox. No cream cheese. Butter only.

Favorite is salt bagel w/ butter. Good bagel places back in NJ, but H&H in NYC takes the cake, so to speak. Brueggers is... uh... not horrible in a pinch.

As an aside, anyone ever had a salt stick? Mmmmmm.

Brace yourself, I almost agree with you about food! :D:p;)

While I do love lox, and cream cheese, I am absolutely down with the butter-only bagels, nice pinch of kosher salt. Ymm bagels!

H&H - Horn and Hardart automats? The last one closed in 1991 according to this article in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horn_&_Hardart

Or are you talking about another H&H?

[TillyGalore]

I sometimes put cinnamon sugar and butter on my bagels.

I forgot... don't toast it. Unless it's Lender's (aka grocery store) Bagels at home, don't toast it.

Here's their East Side (http://www.hhmidtownbagels.com/) location. There's also one on the West Side, around 80th & Broadway, or so. I only know the West Side location, as we used to go there on the way home from this one bar (when I was in college), around 2:30am or so...

[devildeac]

fresh bagels-hopefully still warm from the store-with a bit of butter or plain cream cheese. Toast 'em lightly if they are a day old. I don't like fruity cream cheeses that much but enjoy the veggie or bacon/scallion ones if they have to be "flavored." Plain bagels are fine but I'll enjoy the ones with toppings, too, like, toasted onion, sesame, poppyseed or everything. I make do with the local varieties in NC such as Panera and Brueggers.

[dukegirlinsc]

I only like the mini-bagels. And I only eat the tops with a very thin layer of cream cheese. I don't care where they're from. As long as they're small.
:D

Panera bagels. Blech. Designer bagels.

There aren't that many places to procure bagels in Raleigh and it's a long, inconvenient drive to NYC...

Sadly, I cannot straighten out gentiles when it comes to matters that deal with Jewish Soul Food. ILJ (a member of the same tribe as DD) actually likes a fresh plain bagel, cream cheese and pastrami. She also insults me by bringing in Asiago Cheese bagels from Panera.

Ozzie's earlier comment about lox has me wondering. I can understand Tilly not liking lox, but Ozzie? Oy gevalt!

Perhaps we have to bring back the "Ymm, Matzah Brai" thread.;)

Rock on, Sis!

I don't like salmon. Never have, never will. I didn't eat fish at all (except for canned tuna) until about 20 years ago. Don't even ask me about gefilte fish; that ain't gonna happen either. :eek:

[sue71]

Don't even ask me about gefilte fish; that ain't gonna happen either. :eek:

Gefilte fish is NOT fish. I cannot identify what it is. I do not want to.


Edit: If you dare claim it is fish, then you'd better call a Chicken McNugget chicken. Then I'd have to beat you silly.

Can I have a point for trying lox? Are lox smoked or raw? I swear the one time I tried a bagel with cream cheese and lox, the salmon was raw. I don't do raw fish.

[Lavabe]

Can I have a point for trying lox? Are lox smoked or raw? I swear the one time I tried a bagel with cream cheese and lox, the salmon was raw. I don't do raw fish.

Clarification (a.k.a. Lox 101):
Raw fish ... no, I'm not good with this either.
Lox: This is brined, which reacts with the meat. I believe Alton Brown has discussed the chemical reaction that occurs. Obviously, the brining fluid and spices has an effect on the actual taste.
Smoked: A la the Pacific Northwest (yummy smoked salmon) is MUCH different. The wood used in the smoking has everything to do with the taste. However, there are many other ways to prepare lox-like derivations...

IIRC, the stuff I had at the soccer game in London was Scottish style, which involves dry brining (no fluid), then rinsed, then smoked.

Nova is a slightly different process, as is Gravlox (Nordic).

Does this help clarify things?

There's another thread for that...
... at least there was a while ago.

Normally, I would tell you to use the search thread function, but I am having difficulty using it lately.

I mean, I could find the sumo wrestling thread by using the search term "sumo." Fine. I tried to find the "Dog gone it" thread using the term "dog," then tried it with "Dog." Nothing.

I found it by using the term "bagel.":eek: I hope by bagel, Sis, you meant the Jewish soul food staple, not the canine.:o

What's up with this? Hopefully a mod is listening. Thanks. As always, much appreciation. :o

1. Bagels > lox. Lox is icky. Gross. Nasty.

2. Mods are doing some cleaning up. They are deleting old threads, etc. A bunch of us have noticed our post counts go down by 100 or so, others just a small amount. Regardless, there is "clean up" going on. The threads you're referring to might have fallen victim. :(

3. You named the thread BAGELS AND LOX. Therefore, let's discuss bagels. Ahem. Heh heh...

1. Ah, good old thread-jacking...
2. I dredged up the old "ymm, ice cream" thread but the search function said "ice" was too short a word. So, I made the search for "icecream" and brought the thread back to page one.
3. And the dog is not "bagel," it's bEagle:p.

It sounds like I didn't have lox, but rather a bagel with cream cheese and raw salmon. Ewwwwww!!!!!!!!

Are there any "good" bagel and lox places in the Durham area? Yeah, I know it's a long shot. But, if you don't ask you'll never know.

Tilly, lox looks raw. You may have had lox.

[Lavabe]

Tilly, lox looks raw. You may have had lox.

The lox should be sliced VERY thin, and may only look slightly different from raw salmon. Sue is correct.

The easy way to tell is the taste. Was there any briney or spiced aspect of the taste? Or was it just plain, raw fish?

P.S. Re-jack: Sis ... every now and then, I get the craving for a good ol' fashioned salt bagel. Ymm!!

I am mistaken. The earlier thread on bagels was actually part of the thread in which I was kvetching about the lack of good pizza in Atlanta. I then had another thread in which I begged for a bagel shop in Kentucky. You'll also recall in the Matzah Brai thread, my kvetching about the need for some good Jewish soul food delivery service. If the service also did bagels, so much the better.

Forgive me Sis, for I have kvetched.

Lavabe

P.S. Do NOT attend the game watch. Eat your pepperoni. Now THAT would be a thread-jack.:D

I don't recall the "lox" being thin, or having any kind of spice to them. The only way for me to tell if I had raw fish or lox, is to have lox again.

I have a friend who drives up to NYC periodically. I'll ask her if she can bring me some bagel and lox. As she is Jewish, I have great faith in her that she will bring back the real deal. :D

What's happenin' here. Did I miss something. Has a brunchgate already been declared. When's it happening? Where's it happening? Do I need to bring any beer. Goes good with bagels and lox, and it's good for you. There's a Dunkin' Donuts place just down the road. I can get some bagels there, and can stop by the Golden Coral and get some of their smokin' salmon. Do you need it before September? It'll keep in the back of my truck til' then.

LMAO. Settle down fella. We'll post it clearly on the OTB starting in early to mid-August when the 1st fall gathering will be and probably e-mail you, too. A suggested menu will be bantered about, we'll all post our contributions and then we'll convene in a familiar location several hours before kick-off and begin the 2009 festivities. Meanwhile, please return to the EK forum to discuss our current 2 BB teams that will be playing tomorrow. :D

And where do you plan on getting the soft pretzels? A street corner in Philadelphia or NYC? If you do, bring back one or two dozen real bagels. And a cheese steak, too.;):D

[zingit]

I can't believe there are so many people here who don't like lox! :confused: A good bagel with cream cheese and lox is one of my favorite foods! Though I must say I'm not picky about the kind of bagel, and I don't see anything wrong with Panera bagels.

I just recently tried a place in Raleigh that is supposed to be the real deal; I believe it was called New York Bagels and Deli, and it had plenty of other Jewish classics. I thought it was great, but then again, I haven't had any real New York bagels to compare it to. Any other suggestions for bagels and lox in the Triangle?

This intrigued me so I did a Google search and it is on Falls of Nuese Rd in North Raleigh. But the reviews are not flattering, at least as far as the service goes.

If so, it used to be a Manhattan Bagel. Both incarnations are better than Dunkin Donuts, and they at least produce legitimate bagels (unlike Panera). I would not rave about the place, but I also wouldn't trash it.

Slightly appropos to things like bagels and lox, I feel compelled to report that my wife and I scored the Triple Crown last weekend as we sucked down Katz's best in the world pastrami on Saturday night, followed by Katz's chopped liver sandwiches mid morning Sunday and Katz's fabulous tongue sandwiches Sunday afternoon. Then I went home and broke the bathroom scale.

I think it's worth noting that tongue is VERY underestimated. Superb.

If a cat steals your tongue sandwich, does that meet the cat got your tongue? :rolleyes:

[budwom]

I suppose there's a cow somewhere with a speech impediment now; otherwise I have few guilt feelings.

Tongue sandwiches were superb....very corned beefish. Ultra flavorful.

And the chopped liver was magnificent, though the amount of grease on the waxed paper wrapper (had to be gobs and gobs of chicken fat) gave us pause. For a wee moment.

Too bad we didn't have room for the deli tuna, because that's absolutely superb, too.

I might - MIGHT - be going to NYC next week for a couple of days and will endeavor to sample Katz's fare again. And yes, sports fans, I will plan on "playing" FedUPS delivery service for select fans in the area ;) You know who you are!

As for tongue, my mother occasionally bought it as a sandwich meat when I was a kid. I ate it, didn't think anything about it, until I realized that it really was a tongue and haven't had it since. :rolleyes:
