Post #4 - September 22nd, 2013, 10:14 pmFor years, in particular since it seems bagels have, not unlike myself, gotten fatter. In fact, did the triple-cut this morning on a New York Bagel and Bialy sesame seed bagel.

Post #6 - September 22nd, 2013, 10:36 pmI seem to remember this being done at one or more of the famous Miami-area delis like Wolfie's and/or Rascal House but I can't remember for sure. Does this ring a bell with anyone? In any case, it's de rigueuer at our house these days. My son loves having the "3 halves," so he can devour the maximum amount of chive cheese and lox.

Post #7 - September 23rd, 2013, 8:43 amI do it occasionally, always for toasting, but not usually to save calories; more commonly to stretch one or two remaining bagels between the two of us, to provide more spreadable surface, to actually eat more of whatever we're spreading. We use a toaster oven, so slice width isn't an issue.
I try to do the slicing the professional way, pressing the bagel to the cutting board and beginning the slice from the side, rotating to vertical when the cut is well-established, but have to admit I've often sliced freehand, holding the bagel in one hand and slicing with the knife in the other, when I'm in too much of a hurry to clear a space or get out a board. I never do a triple slice like that, I'm not sure I could. For triple slicing you need the board.
I've been to the emergency room once for a freehand cut, and toughed it out other times. I wonder if a forensic pathologist could identify a freehand bagel cut just from location and angle. The ER doctor told me it was a fairly common occurence.

I would bet they can. In 2008 1,979 people cut themselves badly enough while slicing bagels to go to the ER.
