Foods / Retail Bagel Bonanza: St. Patrick's Day Edition

Posted by Dana Kopp Franklin on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 1:58 PM

When a kind co-worker brought in bagels this morning, we had no idea that a special March 17 experience was in the offing.

Then we opened the paper bag and saw circlets of baked dough of a shocking emerald green. That's right: Add another nugget to the marketing pot of gold represented by green beer, Shamrock Shakes and all the other viridian versions of popular food products created in honor of St. Patrick's Day.

The green flash inside the bag was a momentary red alert that interrupted our rush to stuff our faces with bagels and cream cheese. Then the boldest nosher among us delivered the good news: Green bagels taste just as good as any other plain bagel of a plainer hue.

So like any herd of journalists roaming the less-than-verdant prairie of newsroom life, we gobbled the green bagels up. Even a couple of small doggies belonging to our bagel-bringing colleague found the bagels worth dragging away to be licked and gnawed into bright green crumbs.

So how's your St. Patty's Day going? Seen any green foods or beverages that seem particularly egregious? Or delicious? Please share with Bites.
