HOT TAKE: bialys are to bagels as apple/cherry/banana fritters are to doughnuts
@Tuftears weirdly not just one but a couple of places do them here, and I don't think it's a regional deal!
@Leucrotta I'd try one for sure. ^.^ So are bialys savory fillings up there or fruit fillings? The recipes I'm seeing sound like savory onion-based fillings.
@Tuftears Savory. They're sort of the original everything bagel!
@Leucrotta Mmm, sounds kind of like garlic bread with everything on 'em.
@Leucrotta I was always disappointed apple fritters aren't like banana fritters, that is, whole chunks of apples dipped in batter and fried. Never seen cherry fritters!
