Einstein Bros. Candy Cane Bagels
I was at Einstein Bros. Bagels yesterday to get my "usual"—the sandwich I've been ordering there since I was 18 and was finally allowed to leave my high school campus during free periods. (The usual, if you are curious, is a sesame bagel with hummus that is spreadable rather than dippable, lettuce, cucumber, and roasted red pepper.)
In the bagel case, I saw red-and-white candy cane bagels, and I found them, frankly, to be kitschy cool. Yes, it's now a little late, but they would have been the perfect Christmakkuh accessory. They can be torn like challah, shmeared with plain cream cheese, and hung on a tree, although probably not in that order. Available for the next few days, a baker's dozen of these would make a great office breakfast or a festive family brunch.

I saw those all through the holiday season and always forgot to ask do they taste like peppermint?? That's an immediate deal breaker for me. If they are plain, I'd definitely give one a try. A little food coloring never hurt anybody. (Unless you make it a diet staple.)

It's a plain bagel! No peppermint.

eh....eh...eh....NO!
And I love Christmas, btw, and used to suck on a peppermint stick on Christmas morning, but like the green bagels for St. Patty's Day, the cherry flecked or red-dyed bagels for Valentine's Day...no, no, no!

They had these at manhattan bagel too, but I didn't try.

The bagel doesn't appeal to me, but the sandwich sounds great!

That sounds nifty! I'd try it although it would be even cooler if the red part was a different flavor.

Such a cute idea on their part. Looks delicious! I agree that the red part should be a different flavor.
