<p>second spring - I can’t even abide the idea of cinammon raisin bagels! </p>
<p>We had an elite runner stay with us a couple of weeks ago; night prior to a big race so we surely wanted to feed him exactly what he wanted. He asked for bagels and I went to get them very early the next morning and wasn’t certain what kind he liked. I asked the bagel lady which were the most popular and, based on that, ordered 2 cinammon raisin. Fast forward a couple of days… with 3 strapping young men in the house, all the plain, sesame, and garlic bagels disappeared. The cinammon raisin just sat there. Fitting!</p>
<p>Celray!! There is nothing more refreshing, over a big glass of ice, on a hot summer day.</p>
<p>Let’s see… good bagels, tomato pickles, deli sandwiches with horseradish, Italian subs with oil and vinegar, Celray… I guess I’m a New Yorker at heart, huh. Guilty as charged.</p>
<p>The only thing I use mayo with is tuna…and sparingly at that…I like the newer squeeze jars so I can really limit/control the amt I add to a can of tuna…</p>
<p>The funniest thing I have ever done with mayonnaise is use it to shine the leaves of a rubber plant…some friend of my mom’s shared that tip with us a loooonnnggg time ago…and I did it in college…and 30 yrs later, we still howl about it…</p>
<p>I am not big on any “dairy” ie milk, cheese, butter, eggs etc…I have cousins with the same aversions…cousins I did not grow up with… we discovered this common dislike at someone’s wake…Irish wakes can take days…and we got down to food likes/dislikes at one of them!!</p>
<p>jmmom-agreed. Sesame or salt bagels are quite exotic enough. Cinammon raisin and the like just try hide what is basically a lousy bagel. </p>
<p>mootmom-you’re making me salivate over my computer. Ah, what I would do for a tomato pickle. My friends and I would ofter stop off at Gusses Pickles after school, it was right around the corner. We would walk home eating those wonderful pickles with brine dripping down our arms. If we were really hungry a nice hot bialy did the trick. Now that’s what I considered fast food.</p>
<p>My mom in NJ used to hand me hot dogs fixed with mustard, relish, and chopped onions. Never ketchup. Weird, then, that my kids eat hot dogs with nothing but ketchup on them. (Blech.)</p>
<p>Strangest hot dog/bun combination I have ever seen are served at the Molson Centre in Montreal, home of the Montreal Canadians.</p>
<p>The hot dogs are actually pretty normal, but the bun is like a folded over piece of toasted bread. However, it goes well with a nice, cold Molson Export!</p>
