If anyone thinks this is an unpopular opinion I hope they never cream my bagel

Mmmmm, that's some delicious obesity.

OP is clearly American. That's a quarter of how much they're probably used to.

The bagel is just the vehicle to ingest the cheese.

That's its real purpose.

I grew up in NYC and when we order bagel w/ cream cheese, we expect a cream cheese sandwich basically lol

I like juuuust enough. I have a hard time swallowing so much of something that thick.

So, are we really not doing "phrasing" anymore?

I didn't realize this is the way until I visited the big city.

Literally why I buy whole bagels and slice and fill myself

Well i'm in florida now and they do things a little different down here so i just toast my own bagels and add my own cream cheese lol

When it comes to cream cheese, a bagel is just a spoon you don't have to wash. 😉

Actually yeah I agree I've lived in the south my whole life and I never get enough cream cheese on my bagels. Always way too much bread

More is definitely better when it comes to that classic cream cheese spread

Ew no lol

I hate cream cheese, but that's not important. Fact is outside of NY, Jersey, and Philly, most people have never even tasted a real bagel.

Montreal bagels are elite!!

If you are going to eat an entire tub of cream cheese what do you want the bagel for? Just get a spoon and save the carbs.
by Anonymous1 month ago
I want the carbs too

Nah, having a mouthful of cream cheese and no bagel is not where it's at. I'm from NYC and now live across the country. I've never seen a bagel with that much cream cheese while in NY.

Every bagel I get here in NYC has way too much cream cheese. Idk if it's 1/4 lb, but it's a lot.
by New_Veterinarian_6971 month ago
He probably has no idea what a 1/4lb looks like if he thinks NYC bagel shops don't give that much lol
by Anonymous1 month ago
A quarter pound is 4 ounces bro. Where in NYC are you that they aren't giving you that on your bagel?

Half a brick? Really?
by Connprovidenci1 month ago
They use whipped cream cheese from a tub at most bagel shops but at home i use the bricks and yeah, i do half a brick per bagel
by Anonymous1 month ago
Is that half a brick per whole bagel, or half a brick per half?
by Connprovidenci1 month ago
Half a brick per whole bagel

Yea that's not a ny thing. I've never seen that in ny

That's how WaWa used to do it. The ones here in South Jersey seem to have gotten stingy

Would that make it a Quarter Pounder?

Eww. I'm buying the bagel to taste the bagel lol. I'm not buying a plate of cream cheese.
by Anonymous1 month ago
They neither do real bagels nor good cream cheese, definitely not them

Is this the Tim Hortons account? I'm pretty confident they do 1/2c cream cheese on a bagel
by Anonymous1 month ago
That's gross to me. I know that's traditional in some places, but I don't like that amount of cream cheese. It would make the bagel unenjoyable to me.

by zacheryparker1 month ago
That's like a whole 5 bucks worth of one ingredient on one bagel here

1/6 a pound. A brick should last 6 bagels.
by Otherwise-Chip90881 month ago
1/8 would be my optimization. Budget willing.
by oconnellmaximo1 month ago
Yeah, enjoy your NYC bagel and I'll be over here making a bagel egg & cheese or putting an appropriate amount of cream cheese on it. Thanks.
by donna791 month ago
Believe it or not, it holds up well and doesn't get messy. Cream cheese isn't thin enough to make a big mess like that
by Anonymous1 month ago
Same ratio with butter if you're buying it from a street cart

Do you bud. You can have my share lol never been a fan of bagels or cream cheese
by Icy-Camel47931 month ago
He calls me boss yet he consistently ignores my requests for extra cream cheese
by Tromaguera1 month ago
Mate this is the most American thing I have ever heard. If you can't see the bagel through the cream cheese in at least four places it's an instant heart attack. Just buy a tub of cream cheese at the point, you probably won't even bloody taste the bagel.

There's a balance to be found of course. I want to taste the cream cheese, but I don't want to just be eating cream cheese!
