Bagels

I've long suspected that the cinnamon and raisin bagels I've been buying over the years have been going downhill. After a brief visual investigation one morning last week, this morning I was moved to conduct a full scale experiment - dissecting one into small segments and counting the number of raisins present. There were four...FOUR...so most therefore got donated to the birds [which should please Taz who's bleakly looking out of the window at a wintry back garden and counting her chickens, or, in this case, sparrows].

Anyhow, back with the bagels, you'd have thought there might be some EU ruling on this. I can't believe that 4 per bagel is acceptable - is it? And they're not made in New York...they're made in Rotherham. Pah!
