Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The mad riffing on bagel flavors is maddening.
Cinnamon rasin has been grandfathered in, but NO NEW BAGELS (particularly sweet ones)/

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Plain, poppyseed, sesame ... that's all, we're done, thank you.

All joking aside, you'd only get a very little argument from me on that. Because 1. You're ita. And 2. Those really are the best ones.

Just don't eat any bagels west of the Delaware.
Hey LA has some of the greatest bagels of all times. I know a lot of transplanted New Yorkers who admit this.
As to the odd flavored bagels: Well the classics are still available. But once you allow cinammon-raisin, I don't see how you can excluded all the other sweet flavors. Similarly given garlic and onion bagels, I don't see how you can arbitrarily exclude the Jalepano and so forth.
Mind you, garlic, onion and plain are still my favorites..

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Since, by definition, an "everything" bagel is the set of all possible bagels, if something has an ingredient in it that isn't in an everything bagel, then it isn't a bagel.
QED.

Ow! Tom made my brain hurt.
I refute his logic with the fact that at times in human history, doughnuts have been available with jelly beans on them. I mean, not that anybody ate them, because that's gross and disgusting, but they were available.
Ergo: just because it goes against all laws of God and Man, doesn't mean someone won't try to sell it.
That goes double when you're putting blueberries and jalapeños into the same baked goods.

If you put them together that could be the most Disgusting Thing Ever. But somebody would buy it.

It's pastry, for crying out loud! How can you have good pastry without butter (or equivalent)?
Goose fat is lovely, or so I hear. Not being one to roast a goose, nor one to attempt baking pastries, I've never tried it myself.
To the traditional plain, poppyseed, and sesame, I'll add the egg bagel. And I'll admit a fondness for the fatfest that is the cheese bagel, but I fully recognize that it is not the industry standard. After that, they are round rolls of various flavors, including the cinnamon raisin.
And yes, you can get wonderful bagels in LA, you just have to search them out and avoid anything called "Noah's" like the plague.

Except that "everything" is one of the new flavors and thus can't be used to define the set of all bagels.
Also everything bagels do not have cinammon or raisins which were grandfathered in to classic list. Thus it cannot be a true "everything" bagel and is misnamed.
