Eatabout

Such a nice day for a walkabout!

IMG_9176 (600x450)

I asked Matt if he wanted to meet me on a lunch date last night and he suggested Bodo’s Bagels, a famous Cville bagel shop that we don’t frequent enough.

IMG_9175 (600x450)

I picked up bagel sandwiches for us and took them to the bakery for eatin’

IMG_9177 (600x450)

Poppyseed with cream cheese (a la NYC!) Sadly they don’t make pumpernickel, my fav. But the bagel was just as tender (Bodos uses the same water-technique that NYC bagelrys do (so they claim). This was perfectly doughy on the inside.

IMG_9178 (600x450)

Pikal

IMG_9180 (450x600)

Honeycrisp!

IMG_9179 (600x450)

Due to the delicious bagel, I resisted multiple breadboard sweets for dessert! A difficult task indeed.

I’ve been putting labels on bags and doing odds and ends around here. Note the red face – it’s hot!

    MMMMMMMM BODOS! We went twice (in three days) while we were home for Christmas and Kevin (hubby) went again last week when he was up there for work. Nothing is more C’ville to me than Bodos! I always order the same thing: Caesar salad (it is TO DIE FOR) and a turkey, mayo, lettuce and tomato on whole wheat! Reminds me of home 🙂

    You gotta get the Caesar salad sometime – it’s super garlicky (and has homemade not-creamy dressing!) and little bits of toasted everything bagel are the croutons! YUM. Also, is this seriously the same town that had snow/sleet all weekend, and today it’s 65 degrees? It’s been a weird winter!

    Hey Kath, Have you ever tried the famous Montreal style bagels? If you like your bagel sweet and chewy and you ever see a Montreal bagel in SC, you should try it!

    • KathEats says

      January 24, 2012 at 5:38 pm

      I have not heard of Montreal style! What makes them different? I’m in Virginia by the way – but I’ll look out for them when I travel

      Reply
      • Lisa Freedman says

        January 24, 2012 at 7:03 pm

        According to Wikipedia “In contrast to the New York-style bagel, the Montreal bagel is smaller, sweeter and denser, with a larger hole, and is always baked in a wood-fired oven. It contains malt, egg, and no salt and is boiled in honey-sweetened water before being baked in a wood-fired oven, whose irregular flames give it a dappled light-and-dark surface colour.” From my experience (and I’ve eaten bagels in both Montreal and New York bagels) I much prefer Montreal bagels (and not just because I am Canadian). They are super chewy, dense and are especially good warm and dipped in sweet mustard. If I ever find a way to send you fresh Montreal bagels for a taste-test I will! (Sorry about the SC remark, I remembered the minute I wrote it!)

    New York-style bagels are the best! Apparently boiling the bagels before baking them is what makes them so soft and moist on the inside, like you said. I don’t know what your secret is at Great Harvest, but your breads are also SO moist and doughy and delicious. I almost cried when the one in Tulsa shut down, but I just moved to Ann Arbor and they have one here! I need to go pronto.

    I don’t eat bagels that often, but love to grab one whenever I’m back in NY visiting family. I love multigrain everything bagels (hard to find!) sliced and lightly toasted with chive cream cheese, sliced tomato, oregano, and some freshly ground black pepper. Tastes like a pizza!

    This may be me overreacting, but the “(so they claim)” seems unnecessary. Wouldn’t you be annoyed if someone said, “GH grinds their flour every morning at the bakery (so they claim).” Seems to tarnish the company a bit, no?

    If the bagel was delicious, and from a fellow local/small business, I don’t know why you’d say anything to make people doubt the product. Small business need to support small business (like you two have been doing since you moved).

    Hopefully it was tongue-in-cheek and I’m just being silly. Kind of raised my eyebrows, though.

    It may just be the way I read the remark “so they claim”, but it seemed unnecessary to me. I understand that you probably compete with their bakery in some way, and I’m all for capitalism, so maybe the remark was in the spirit of competition?? However, to me, it just seemed out of character for your blog. Hopefully I just misread the tone of the remark…loved the post otherwise! 🙂

      No, no I didn’t mean it in a mean way at all (I know nothing about baking bagels OR bread – that’s Matt thing). I just didn’t want readers to jump on me about the “real” way of making NYC bagels so I was just restating what their website said was their technique. Misunderstanding!
