Martha Stewart's Bagel Hack Baffles Internet
15 Dec
Summary
- Stewart cuts bagels into quarters, then tiny pieces.
- She tops each fragment with a 'modicum' of cream cheese.
- The internet reacted with shock and amusement to her method.
The internet is buzzing after lifestyle icon Martha Stewart revealed her unconventional method for enjoying a bagel. Stewart shared on Instagram her unique way of eating a poppy seed bagel from PopUp Bagels, which deviates significantly from traditional approaches. Instead of biting into the whole or halved bagel, Stewart first slices it in half, then cuts each half into quarters. She further breaks these quarters into what she describes as "sweet little pieces," topping each with a "modicum" of cream cheese. She claims this method, recommended by her daughter Alexis, leaves her satisfied but not overly full. The public reaction to Stewart's bagel ritual has been overwhelmingly one of surprise and disbelief. Many social media users found the precise, almost surgical, preparation method to be baffling and even humorously alarming, with comments ranging from "unhinged" to a "violation of the bagel code of ethics."
