There aren’t a lot of good bagels in Paris. A shop in St. Germain sells them, but the shop doesn’t open until about 12pm or thereabouts, and the food item in question is spelled “beggel” on the sign outside. If only I had smuggled this into the country. Behold Bagel Spice, discovered by Urban Daddy, available online now for $4.99. Some culinary genius has taken all the zingy taste of an everything bagel – garlic, onion, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, salt, and, well, everything – and bottled it.
Imagine the wondrous things you could do with this! The Bagel Spice site suggests using it on top of eggs, but the possibilities are endless. Think of grilled meat or shrimp kebabs rolled in everything bagel spices, for instance, instead of plain old sesame seeds. You could use everything bagel spice on the rim of a Bloody Mary glass. Or a brilliant Passover solution – matzoh bread with cream cheese sprinkled with everything bagel spice.
It’s enough almost make you give up the original everything bagel – almost.
