Where do you get your bagels? Are they the "real thing"? They have to be boiled in water.

I can't eat them anymore due to a gluten intolerance (celiac disease), but the ones that I grew up with in Brooklyn are the best.

When I was a kid they were 7 cents each, and if you didn't eat them within an hour after baking they turned rock-hard. You can still get them like this, in Brooklyn and select other bakeries in NYC, but they cost about 9 times as much today as they did 45 years ago.
