פְּרִיI don't want to stir up controversy, but toasting bagels is wrong.

@peribotsarah the less fresh they are, the less wrong it is. And a lot of places are just selling bagel-shaped bread, which isn’t actually a bagel, so may be toasted if you feel the need to punish yourself by eating it.

@peribotsarah @josh0 Where I live there is no such thing as a fresh bagel. We have to get supermarket bagels. 😿
@littlemiao @peribotsarah weirdly, Smith’s (a grocery chain in New Mexico) makes surprisingly decent bagels. They’re a Kroger brand, so maybe other chains might have the same ones?
@josh0 @peribotsarah There is a Kroger store near here, I will check it out and give it a chance!
@littlemiao @peribotsarah good luck! I was happily surprised the the ones at Smith’s. They’re still not nearly as good as I’d like, but they’re good enough to hold off the urgency of a trip just to buy bagels.
@peribotsarah wrong, but sometimes unavoidable. :(
