I fricking hate bagels. They taste bad, have a weird texture, they’re difficult to tear apart with your teeth and chew, the have a tendency to get little chunks stuck in your teeth especially if they’re topped with seeds, every flavor of them sucks and doesn’t remotely resemble the flavor they’re supposed to taste like (e.g. blueberry, cinnamon raisin), they’re not really healthy at all, they smell bad, and on top of it all I’m almost convinced that eating them gives me headaches. Seriously. Bagels are just the worst.
yes, I’ve toasted them before and they’re still bad that way too. There are flakes that get everywhere too when you eat them toasted.

Yes, a real German pretzel is boiled in Lye for 10-30s. You want the lye to be lightly simmering.

Its a Base, so the opposite of an acid. It'll turn your fat into soap.
But it accelerates the Maillard Reaction, that's the thing that makes food yummy and golden.
