    Everything flavored bagels are simply flavored with everything that's fit to flavor a bagel, and nothing else.

    I guess I just assumed that you'd know that since everyone around me does. I should have taken your lack of experience with bagels into account.

    Are bagels not popular in the United Kingdom or Australia?

    everything bagels have poppy seeds and onion flavours and are for savoury things.
    They are sort of like all dressed chips in flavour.

    they are my favourites. Don likes sesame seed ones, Dom likes the cinnamon raisin and the blueberry ones.

    my grandson just likes bagels. I think it was the name he fell for first.

    Bagels are more eastern european food so maybe that is why they are popular in the states and Canada since so many here come from that area of the world.
    It was more filling and easier to bake in colder climates where yeast would not work as well. I don't know if that is the reason but that is the area that the heavier breads originated.

    A lot of commercial bagel bakers skip the boiling step, which results in a bagel that rises more and is less chewy. True bagels are boiled before baking, which not only makes them denser, but is the more natural way to get that bronze shiny glaze (the boiling breaks down the surface starches to simple sugars, which then brown during baking).

    Bakeries who don't boil the bagels spray them with a sugar solution to get the same effect, but the flavor just isn't the same as the hydrolyzed dough.

    Connolly - Bagels aren't as popular here or in Australia, but they do exist... I just don't like them very much.

    My sister takes them to school instead of sandwiches...
