Because EVERY TIME I go to Dunkin' Donuts, they're out of blueberry AND berry-berry.

With wierd ones left. Piles of them. Salsa (in the MORNING?) Garlic. Sourdough. Salt? Plain. Wheat. Sometimes there's cinnamon raisin.

All I wanted was a damn berry-type bagel.

No matter what time I go in the morning, there AREN'T ANY.

Are they not making them?

Do they never make enough?

[Mad]

Just puts a damper on the whole day. I don't even GET bagels very often. Today was a reward because I found out the rash wasn't caused by the lamictal...meaning I don't have to go off a med that seems to be stabilizing me.

Though the want of berry bagels might cause my demise.

Berry bagels are an abomination. Be glad that others will suffer the repercussions of consuming them.

Judging by what foods come by my clinic most often, the berry bagels are probably all being snatched up by drug reps and taken to doctors' offices.

*Looks at big abandoned pile of berry bagels*

Want one of these? [Smile]

Does anyone ever use fruit flavored cream-cheese on their bagels? [Mad] It's repulsive

Why would anyone order a bagel from Dunkin' Donuts, particularly if they want a berry flavor of some kind? Dunkin' Donuts makes a FANTASTIC blueberry cake donut.

I'm not a cadet, neither do I play one on tv. [Wink]

I work at the cadet bookstore at West Point, and my hubbie is stationed here (he's a Sgt. in the Army).

mack, I'm going to have to talk to the mister about when would be a good time. I'll let you know as soon as possible! Tres exciting!

I don't know a Jeremy Stache, but now I'm going to be checking nametags all day tomorrow looking for him. *snicker*

kat, I didn't know "amiable", did I?
What year did s/he graduate?

Mack, see if you can find an Einstein Bagels. They're yummy and always have plenty of fruit type bagels. Of course they also have icky weirdo ones like asiago cheese and I'm surprised you got ANY sympathy from Tom because he only eats onion bagels *shudder*

The best bagels I've ever had are from panera bread, the cinnamon crunch ones. I heat them up in the microwave, and smother them with butter, and they taste like cinnamon rolls, only better.

Ni!

Are you KIDDING??? Asiago cheese bagels are the very best. They are especially good with savory cream cheese, sliced tomatoes and green onions. And they make the very best sandwiches.

I much prefer savory bagels to sweet ones.

I saw the west Point crew team deploy one morning. It was the first time in my life I felt like a leering, lustful old lady.

I like sundried tomato bagels, but they are getting rarer. I think half the country woke up one morning and said why did I ever think that was a good idea?

And now I feel like that Every Day. *sigh* I have to work with these people! The scenery doesn't suck, though, I'll tell ya! [Wink] Plus, they are genuinely good kids, for the most part, and that is frelling attractive.

Sundried tomatoes: I never got the attraction to those. Blecch.

I suppose that if you are bent on this path of a destruction, I could contact the Dunkin Donuts gods and suggest they interfere with the infidels who keep buying up the blueberry bagels before you get there.

Or you could just get up earlier in the morning.

----
I am somewhat embarrassed by the fact that I know the Dunkin Donuts gods. It's a long story, but it has to do with the unfortunate fact that my followers soaked up too much of the Slavic and Austro-Hungarian influences and began to turn more and more to fried foods which led to this really strange convention for minor deities that I attended a few years ago [I presented on the subject of schnitzel as burnt offerings] --- oh, and, yeah, I'm sorry about the whole fried twinkie thing. I was just joking around, but those damm anglo-saxon cuisine gods [boy are they oxymoronic in just about every way possible] take everything so seriously.

I have no access to dunkin donuts (tant pis), but the local safeway here usually has a good selection of baked goods. But lately, they have not had ANY muffins. At all. What's the deal with that. Anyway? [Dont Know] So this morning, I got an asiago cheese bagel (mmmmmmm) and some smoked salmon cream cheese spread, but all I REALLY wanted was a cranberry orange muffin. Is that too much to ask? Apparently. [Cry]

Agrees with Zal and Icky. To me, there is something just unnatural about a berry bagel. [Razz]

Give me a garlic, onion or poppyseed bagel with chive cheese any day. Yum!!!

As for donuts, I love a good old fashioned, cake-type "Dunkin Donut" with my coffee - none of that glaze, sugar-coating or filling. [Big Grin]

Once more.

Welcome, by the way!

[Smile]

The first thread I ever started was to ask the same question. At least you didn't ask the n00b question quite as publicly as I did! [Big Grin]

I hope you enjoy Hatrack as much as I have! [Smile]

-o-

Now, to derail this topic: Dunkin Donuts (and virtually all grocery store donuts) make me nauseated. Note that I'm not making a comment on preference or tastes. I mean they literally nauseate me. [Frown]

The only donuts that don't are Krispy Kreme. [Big Grin]

But see, I'm not talking about taste. Although in fact I do prefer Krispy Kreme's taste--then again, I guess it's normal to prefer the taste of the brand that doesn't nauseate you--it's the fact that Dunkin Donuts physically make me sick. Even the flavors that I like, like maple, chocolate cream, chocolate glazed . . . (And yes, every once in a long while I can't help myself and I try Dunkin Donuts again to see if they still nauseate me. Stupid, I know.)

It's a yeast thing. They're too yeasty.
