Day #2: CCR Bagel

In an attempt to keep the lunch challenges exciting, yet within the travel budget of these leathery economic times, Chef Andy decided to head out to Sainsburys again in the search for the winning lunch.

And what he found was exquisite. A collection of food that spans the European Union, joining together in a truly ethnic utopia of conjugal bliss. From the picturesque French farm town of Camembert comes a soft, velvety cheese of the same name. If one could pick a food they would like to be draped in Camembert cheese would be at the top of the list. Not only for its comfort, though, but also for its delicate yet bold taste which rivals the creamiest of the Bries. It did smell a bit like poop though, which lead to both Chefs searching their respective suits in an attempt to find the offensive odor. What they did find, once it was realized the cheese was the culprit, was possibly the best thing ever to happen to a bagel.

Bagels, the anytime, anyplace, anytopping food, originated in Poland, and we should take a moment right now to thank them for that. And thank the people who so cleverly decided to place raisins and cinnamon into them. And take a moment to thank Chef Andy for creating the Camembert Cinnamon Raison bagel.

A truly delicious combination that almost, but not quite, combusts with too much flavor, as the creamy Camembert forms a perfect union with the cinnamon raison bagel. The taste hits you like a dolphin that is saving you from drowning and eating one of these leaves plenty of room for more StrongBow.

Divided we fall, together we stand,
Chef Andy
