Yes, only next-day toasting is permitted. The only reason to toast is to soften it up.

I agree with you on the blueberry (and let's add spinach, sun-dired tomato, and asiago cheese to ridiculous bagel flavors) but you are dead wrong on the cinnamon raisin. That is your dessert bagel, for after the lox, to enjoy with fresh coffee. And how can you omit the very best kinds of bagels -- the egg bagel and the egg onion bagel? You talk a good game, Hank, but you really aren't up to this.

I failed to persuade the owners and employees of a bagel establishment in a small mid atlantic college town that a sancwich consisting of eggs on a bagel is absolutely not properly called an "egg bagel." You don't call an egg sandwich on a kaiser roll an "egg roll" do you? They did not change their terminology, even when I explained how wrong it was to get a customer excited about a variety of bagel that they did not carry, and even after I pointed out that many of their patrons would have the same experience.

Fucking rubes.

What about steamed bagels? My bagel knowledge is clearly minimal (I just don't eat them very often).
