Today, I noticed something new to me in Goldberg's New York Bagels,
currently my favorite store: a flat disc with sesame seeds that I was
told was a "Flagel". I tried one with cream cheese today and it was
pretty good. The Wikipedeia article on bagels says it is just a
flattened bagel and is known in Montreal and New York City. There is
relatively more crust than on a regular bagel so they are chewier but I
liked the one I had.

Kind of sounds like a bialy. Sounds tasty.

No, it's not a bialy; they had those too. I think the flagel is boiled
like a bagel but I'll have to ask next time I'm ther.

I just took a mallet to a good local bagel. You're right--it's still
good. And flat!

It might work :-) However, I think the flattening is done *before* cooking!

The flagel is exactly the same product only formed flatter... it's
thinner with a larger diameter, some claim it's easier to build/eat a
sandwhich. The bialy is a different product. The flagel is somewhere
between a bagel and a pletzel. The pletzel is what the Italians
copied and call focaccia/piadina.

I thought bialys are exclusively flavored with onion.

The product sounds tasty-- but the name is too close to Flagyl for my
'taste'.

The name reminds me of "Flagyl", a drug used to treat yeast infections.

According to the Wikipedia article, the name is in fairly wide use but I
suspect it's not even Yiddish but a shortening of "Flat Bagel".

Maybe that is why the flat bagel (flagel) is flatter - insufficient yeast
action. 8-)
