The Barefoot Contessa stirred up a bagel-slicing debate, so we gave her method a try. What happened should surprise exactly nobody.
I felt a wave of confusion when I spotted a strange phenomenon in my social media feeds: It seems that Ina Garten is “stirring controversy” over her “bizarre” bagel-slicing technique.
But here it was — one of those food fights that emerges every so often from the sludge of online commentary, usually lighthearted but sometimes not. For the smoked salmon and herbed cream-cheese bagel sandwiches that were the meal’s centerpiece, Ina does something unconventional. “I’m doing it with a twist,” she says. “Instead of having a big thick bagel, I like to cut it in thirds. So instead you have a nice little sandwich. I think it tastes better.
Others merely objected to tinkering with what they think of as perfection. “As a new york jew this is a crime against me and my people,” one wrote. I put the center slices aside and made a nice sandwich with a generous smear of the filling and gave it a try. Ina’s version offered the best bits of a bagel sandwich — that is, the bite of the chewy exterior — with just the right amount of the pillowy insides. I found that I was able to eat a whole sandwich, which isn’t usually the case.
