Breakfast can easily be considered one of the most delicious meals of the day. From bacon to pancakes to waffles, breakfast lovers everywhere realize how special and delectable a hearty morning meal can be. There is one type of breakfast food, however, that seems to somehow outshine all the rest. There are shops dedicated solely to this heavenly food item. You can buy them fresh, or pick up a dozen at the grocery store. What is this delectable food you ask? Bagels! If you’re one of those people who can’t seem to cut these warm, round pieces of bread out of your life you may be a full-on bagel fanatic. Not sure how to diagnose yourself? Here are five symptoms every bagel lover experiences on a daily basis.
1) You tell people bagels are your favorite food
You can’t be a true bagel lover if you’re favorite food isn’t bagels. While it may be hard to put pizza or mac and cheese below the blessed bagels on your favorite foods list, as long as everyone’s favorite breakfast food makes top three, you’re still in the running to be deemed a bagel fanatic.
2) You’re always in the mood for a bagel
It could be 4am; no matter what you’re doing or who you’re with, you are always in the mood to cook up a bagel. Break out the cream cheese and get that bacon nice and crispy, because you want a bagel for breakfast and there’s no stopping a bagel hungry fanatic like you.
3) You eat bagels for dinner
You’re roommates are cooking up a nice, healthy chicken dinner? No, you politely thank them; “I think I’ll just make myself a bagel”. Their skeptical looks don’t faze you as you pull out the toaster and get to slicing your precious bagel right in half.
4) You have stacks of bagels in your freezer
A true bagel lover always has extra bagels just waiting in the freezer in case a craving erupts. Bagel lovers take no chances when it comes to going without bagels. If there’s a blizzard warning, you better believe every bagel fanatic will be at the store stocking up on bagels to keep in the freezer, just in case.
5) The workers at your local bagel shop know you by name
Finally, you know it’s bad when the workers at your local bagel shop 1) start addressing you by name and 2) know your order by heart. If you’ve finally realized your bagel obsession just isn’t going to go away, then it’s time to simply accept the signs: you’re a bagel fanatic. So get out there and keep loving on those delicious bagels. Maybe someday you’ll find someone who likes them just as much as you do (now that’s true chemistry).
