I venture to suggest that people who don't like bagels have never really
had good ones.

Even good bagels can frozen at home. They are best defrosted by nuking
for about 30 seconds, placed in a cold oven and removed when the oven
reaches 350F. I noticed that Goldberg's sells bags of bagels, unfrozen
but ready for freezing.
