This hobby is for hedonists, not scientists

@larsman The West Coast versus the NY ones…… two kinds of cooks and tastes.

Yeah l started the 4 wheel bagel multipack slant on this thread. I thought the whole, hole in the bagel thing lightened up the humourist (US humorist) scientist versus the hedonist scenario, that had no real taste to it. Same argument can apply to all the sad supermarket bagels sold in the UK.

Exactly the right question about this debate of science vs. perception.

One must mount the hedonic treadmill in all it’s forms to banish the mass gain of a bagel
