Bagels in Buenos Aires

No fotos. You don't need them. They were picture perfect.

Lemme tell ya, the bagel girls at Bagelazo know exactly what they're doing.

I received today my first dozen ...slated for the freezer ...rather than ordering one of their treemendous bagel sandwiches. I promptly got 4 sesame, 4 poppy, and 4 onion.

My Missus and I wolfed down a sesame immediately. It was so good that we munched another sesame, this time with a great schmear of cream cheese and some smoked ham.

Lordy. What a great bagel. The sesame taste was so strong and wonderful that I suspect that they swabbed them down with toasted sesame oil. I'm sure that they didn't ...but the flavor from the usually flavorless seeds was the best I ever had in my life. That good. And this is coming from a former bagel baker.

Not only that, the dough was malty ...the way a bagel should be. Friends, yanquis, countrymen ...these are as good if not better than the ol' country.

The remaining 10 are going promptly into the freezer.

I'll let you know how they defrost and re-toast. I promised My Missus that I would remember the salmon next time!

(full disclosure: I have no relationship, financial or otherwise, with the fine people at Bagelazo.)

Update: Hee hee. I just noticed that my darlin' snarfed down an onion with tahini while I wasn't lookin'!
