Depends on whether the fressers are Jewish or not! :-) :-)
If they're really fressers, you get 4 or so bagels to an 8 oz.
brick of cream cheese. You can stretch it to about 6, but
there's something terribly unsatisfying about that. In my
house, we can never get more than 4 or 5 -- sometimes less :-)
Also depends on the quality of the bagels -- really fresh,
warm, homemade bagels require more cream cheese. "Lender's"
type bagels -- well, I dunno.
As for lox -- it really depends if you have real lox eaters, and
what kind of salmon it is. If it's the "salty" lox, people will
eat much less. If it's the so-called "Nova/belly" lox (the "non-salty"
kind), people will eat much more. For real "fressers", you can get
about 12 to 16 or so bagels on a pound of really excellent salmon.
(Perhaps >50 bagels on a pound of mediocre lox :-) !!)
Does this help?

| 389.2 | And don't forget the whitefish! | CADSYS::RICHARDSON | | Tue Oct 27 1987 12:24 | 9 |
| I usually figure (for the two of us) to buy half a dozen bagels,
3/4 lb of chive cheese (the "real" stuff, with scallions in it,
not chives), and 3 large or six little slices of lox (handcut, of
course - Paul doesn't like the kind that is packed in oil). So
figure upwards from there - remembering that Paul is extremely fond
of chive cheese, so most people won't eat as much of it as he does.
Pick up a couple of nice, not-too-salty, whitefish while you are
at the deli -- I'll be right over! :-)

| 389.3 | don't waste the lox! | CSSE32::MERMELL | Tastevin en main | Tue Oct 27 1987 17:49 | 5 |
| Don't forget that lox is for "plain" bagels, and perhaps onion.
Bagels like garlic, raisin-pumpernickel, and strawberry-rhubarb
should be reserved for butter, cream cheese, peanut butter, jam,
marmalade, etc.

RE:.3 Peanut Butter? Jam? Marmalade? Wrong conference fella.
RE:.0 What you are asking for is a relationship between
BAGELS, CREAM CHEESE and LOX, not an algorithm.
RE: Minder
There are also topics in this conference devoted
to food and/or bagels in particular. Please check
[DIR/TITLE="BAGEL"] before entering notes in this
conference.
