What to put on which kind of bagel?
me = old fashioned pumpernickel -- nearly black and as dense as osmium -- with a super thin schmear of cream cheese, slice of large -- vidalia -- onion and ripe -- beefsteak -- tomato.
herring in thick -- sour creamish -- cream sauce on the side.

Everything bagel, toasted, with peanut butter--the mix of salty and sweet is divine.

pumpernickel bagel with thin layer of cream cheese on both sides and a layer of Lotus speculoos in between. =)

Everything bagel and veggie cream cheese - plus a slice of munster. That is truly heaven.

Salt bagel, toasted, with the right slathered amount of butter given the chance to melt all in. Mmmmm......

Are you people MAD? The answer is onion bagel--lightly toasted--nova spread, onion and tomato. Duh!

I'm with amateurgourmet. I'll have mine just like his, and i prefer mine open-faced to sandwich style.

Super soft cold bagel with loads of cream cheese! Of course I never eat this, but dear lord, I'm due for one.

there was a time when the very idea of the cinnamon raisin bagel used to make me go house. i attributed the complete and rapid decline of the bagel (and the civilized world) to their their existence (less so, but also, to the everything bagel, which i believe is a product of the 1970s.). but, now, after years of therapy, i accept these bagels and the fact that a studio on the lower east side costs 2 grand.

I'm with NickDavid . . . with the addition of sliced green olives and pimento.

Cinnamon-raisin bagel with sundried tomato spread....sounds like an odd combination but it works!

I'm with the nova lovers -- open-faced onion, sesame or poppy bagel with cream cheese, nova, onion and tomato (capers are good too). Mmmmm...
I also love a good tuna sandwich on a bagel -- sometimes cinnamon-raisin -- to get the sweet/savory combination.

Salt bagel with honey nut cream cheese.
Jalapeno bagel with plain cream cheese.

Nova lover here, also whitefish salad. Funny story when I was pregnant I went to Einstein's Bagels and ordered a cinnamon bagel with nova and cream cheese and onion. The woman who took my order gave me the strangest look. She repeated it to me, I said yes yes pregnant, She nodded and YES it was good. Would not do it today, but them it was good.

Wheat with peanut butter and sliced banana. One of my pregnancy cravings that never went away. Second fave is pumpernickel with veggie cream cheese.
newbatgirl at 10:20PM on 03/06/07
Butter on a pumpernickel bagel for sure!
millybree at 10:26PM on 08/31/08

Plain, toasted, lox, capers, cream cheese (hey, I'm from the South; we're a little new to this party), or cinnamon-raisin, toasted, with sharp cheddar.
Of course, the game changes if they're *fresh* (and good) - but the only time that happens in my area is if I've made them. If then, the answer is always: fresh butter. Preferably homemade.

Smoked cheddar bagel, toasted, with green olive cream cheese. Pumpernickle, not toasted, with plain cream cheese, lox, capers, red onion and maybe tomato.

My favorites are a wheat or plain bagel with cream cheese and strawberry jam, a blueberry bagel with cinnamon walnut cream cheese, and an everything bagel with sharp cheddar and a slice of tomato. Mmm! I don't have bagels often, but this is really making me want one!
poke87 at 11:42AM on 09/01/08
mmmm....let's see...a toasted cinnamon bagel with peanut butter smeared on top (so it melts slightly because of the warm bagel), a sliced banana, and drizzled with honey. filling, nutritious, and delicious.
