An urgent, controversial, and divisive issue that has yet to be resolved: Muffins or bagels?

[brentspeak]

I posted a poll on this important and inflammatory topic a couple of months ago, but the outcome of that poll was sorta hazy. Bagels appeared to win out, 15 votes to 9, but three votes for 'other' created too much of a margin-for-error for my liking. I'll eliminate the choice of 'other' this time around.

Let's try this again -- but without the threats of bodily harm against one another! ;)

16. You belie your heritage; however...

I agree :P

[fizzgig]

18. i love bagels, don't get me wrong

but nothing beats a cup of coffee and a good croissant

[Left Is Write]

3. Why not both?

[brentspeak]

10. No. This is one of those, "You're either for us, or against us," kind of issues.

12. I am Switzerland on muffins and bagels.

4. Muffins!

Who likes bagels? They're much more unhealthy, and not as tasty.

5. Muffins when I want something sweet

Sweet bagel are no good to me.
An ideal bagel to me would be onion or herb or plain (with a vagtable or herb cream cheese).

11. A 'nagel'?!

That sounds like something a mad scientist would create -- a genetically-modified bagel. ;)

6. Bagels, but not the sweet ones.

I've never understood the point of blueberry or apple cinnamon bagels. If you need sweet, get a muffin or a donut. Bagels are bread--and should come in flavors like onion, sesame, everything....but not fruit.


Hmmm...apparently I feel very strongly about this. Who knew?

7. Can you put lox and cream cheese on a muffin?

You could, but it would be foul.

Bagel for the win.

15. Bagels are incredible smoked salmon delivery devices

throw in a shmear of cream cheese, some paper-thin onion slices and capers and you have a breakfast of champions!

[MrScorpio]

8. You're a MONSTER

Oh, The humanity!

[Eurobabe]

13. I can make muffins, but not bagels and I can't get them

where I am presently. So bagels win.

Make mine with a full SCHMEAR please!!!

14. Muffin is just another word for cake

Bagels! I love the chewy-ness, and they are such a nice hit when I want savory (onion bagel with garlic herb cream cheese anyone? killer for the breath but OH so yummy).

17. If Only You Had Not Made It Blueberry Muffin, Sir....

You have to move over into bacon territory to top one of those....

[Xipe Totec]

19. Scones!

[Bjornsdotter]

28. Scones are better

...than muffins or bagels, especially with jam and clotted cream.

Cheers

20. Bagels! But my favorite muffin is blueberry.

And nuke the bagel so it turns crunchy when you eat it. Yum!

[KG]

21. WHILE I MYSELF SAY THERE IS NAUGHT NOR OUGHT THERE BE NOTHING SO EXALTED ON

THE FACE OF GOD'S GREY EARTH AS THAT PRINCE OF FOODS... THE MUFFIN!"

[twenty4blackbirds]

22. plain bagel, split & toasted...buttered

Or topped with scrambled eggs. Or smoked salmon. Or jam. Or...

[Skittles]

23. I hate bagels

f***ing nasty-ass stale bread that only tastes like what you put on 'em :puke:

[bridgit]

25. geawd me too!!

[Skittles]

26. OMG Brigit

[bridgit]

27. hahahaha, ding! and a most-proper use of authority i must say...

:hi:

[susanna]

24. I'm not a big sweet eater, especially cakey things.

So it would have to be bagels for me. Luckily, I can only eat a half of one at any given time. :-)

[WindRavenX]
