"You want that bagel but that bagel is deadly so you scoop that bagel, honey, you scoop it like a bridesmaid at strip-a-robics. But. Can I just ask. What’s wrong with a nice piece of toast, then, or perhaps an English muffin? A bialy, in times of great need?"
—Seriously, what is the DEAL with people who "scoop" out their bagels? It's revolting.
I think I need somebody to draw me a picture or something with this one…
@saythatscool Exhibit A.
@deepomega Oh sorry. I mean I get the "scooping," I don't get the image of "like a bridesmaid at strip-a-robics."
I guess that's a pussy joke but I don't really get it.
@saythatscool Really wish I had a helpful diagram of the pussy of a bridesmaid at strip-a-robics to present to you as Exhibit B, but I do not.
@deepomega I just want to delete this whole exchange now.
@deepomega Really? You have the whole internet in front of you and you can't find that? I would but I'm at work.
You people. You have access to the finest bagels in the world, and this, this, THIS is what you do to them! You do not know how good you have it.
@cherrispryte. This. You kids nowadays. When I was your age all we had was Lender's… and we liked it! Now I live in Northern Virginia, and all I have is still Lenders (unless I want to haul my ass over to Einstein or something) and I… don't like it so much.
@SeanP There is apparently a bagel place on Wilson Blvd (either right near Courthouse or right near Clarendon, I can never remember) that is sort-of good?
A biyali is the Devil's loaf
I'm not in NY so this is totally new to me, but I assume they do this so that they can fill it with cream cheese, right? Carbs are bad!
It's the crusts, stupid! Bagels are all crust and those with tender chops don't do chewy.
Being on a deli line last year behind someone who requested her bagel be "scooped" and watching a split second look of revulsion cross the face of the man behind the counter was the first time I ever encountered this. Normal people just have toast instead.
Eew.
Why does this bother me SO much, but the people who dabb their pepperoni grease with a napkin is fine?
@pattycakes because the extra grease on a pepperoni pizza doesn't add anything to the flavor and, if there's a lot of it, can possible to outfit damaging.
Dude in my line at the deli had them scoop the Italian loaf for his sandwich, "…as usual". Just eat the fuckin thing. Exercise for 5 minutes, or eat half and and save half for later.
This is the only case in which scooping is justified.
@DorothyMantooth Plus the directions explicitly say to save the scooped carbs for breadcrumbs later! Somehow if you're going to eventually ingest them anyway, but need to make room at sandwich-time for additional steak and mushrooms, that makes it all okay?
How arrogant must one be to lecture others on what they should eat and how they should eat it? Why do you care what I eat? How does this negatively effect you? How superior must you presume yourself to be to fell empowered to mandate and dictate what others eat, and find tasty? Sheesh, get over yourself you narcissistic bullying contemptuous sneering buffoon… eat what you want, I wont' bother you, and kindly return that respect or just shut the bleep up.
@ezwriter69 To be fair, you clicked.
I'm a scooper, but I only do it when I make my own bagels. I feel like asking someone else to scoop out my bagel innards is akin to asking someone to hold a tissue against my face while I blow my nose into it.
But maybe we could focus on the real problem at hand: those monsters that toast fresh bagels!
Never heard of people scooping out bagels? Is this a common thing. Maybe I should add it to my sandwich list http://thebestsandwiches.com/
