Q. Cream cheese or buttered?

United States

A. Cheese should simply not be creamed, it is just wrong and mad and those who eat it are surely in the employ of Satan.

Butter is delicious, but butter which cannot be easily spread when taken straight from the fridge is also the work of some anomolous malign power. Butter must melt within seconds of being applied to toast. Whenever I am making toast, I put some butter on my knife and hold it above the toaster until it starts to go a little runny, by which time my toast will almost be finished! Huzzah.

Q. Is it a sin to eat slightly melted cheese on a bagel that is in no way toasted?

United States

A. Hmmmm ... difficult to answer, yet a fascinating and complex question. The 'type' of your bagel will determine whether ypour actions were sinful or not.

First, was it a Montreal bagel or the more usual New York-style bagel? The Montreal bagel contains malt and egg but no salt; it is boiled in honey-sweetened water before baking in a wood oven; and it is predominantly either of the "black seed" (poppy) or "white seed" (sesame) variety. The New York bagel contains salt and malt and is also boiled prior to baking in a standard oven. The resulting New York bagel is puffy with a noticeable crust, while the Montreal bagel is smaller (though with a larger hole) chewier, and sweeter.

How did you get the cheese to melt while keeping the bagel in no way toasted? As your bagel was untoasted I assume it must have bee a New York, as a Montreal would have been unpleasently soft to have eaten untoasted. Also it would hve been a bit sweet with the melted cheese.

I'd therefore say that as long as yours was a New York bagel, no sin was intentionally comitted. Bon apetite!!

It took me a good 15 minutes (and a fully typed complaint post) to figure out that the terms "United States" and "United Kingdom" were being used as sign-offs to each statement, and weren't just completely randomly placed throughout the post.

Making you ask the question, is this an odd query and retort from Question Swap or is Boinky just toying with me instead

[Myz_Lilith]

[Chaimera]

and who needs lions when there are midgets about?!!!

[Aakasha]

midgets roasting on an open fire

[Ceryn]

hmmm... chargrilled midget... how delightful..

woman after my own heart.. damn you..

*growls and skulks off into the wossit*

[Lykeios]

Hmm midgets be good, true story someone I knew once wanted to genetically breed midgets, but alter their DNA so they were all different colours, not just the regular Black/White and various shades in between but like red, orange, green, blue etc. so he could have like a ball pen full of midgets... never found out why he wanted such a thing and I find some questions are best left unanswerd...

... on a sub note chargrilled chai and/or midgets would be perfect in Kenya. Then you'd have the best of both worlds... BBQ's and Lions.
