CSM said:Hey if plain old white bread was good enough for our forefathers it's good enough for me! You think bagels are somethng special just because they get rounded up and shoved through an oven, well white bread goes through an oven too, ya know.
I'll have you know that bagels are boiled in honey and water first, then baked. It's a process call 'blanching', which accounts for the cruch on the outside with a soft inside.
And, our (oops) forefather's ate bannock - uneven flat bread. Blech. :tdown2:
