You'd find it at my house because we like the hot smoked more than the
lox or nova type. Hot smoked salmon (Portlock brand from TJ's) on top
of, not mixed with, cream cheese. But we're eating it on crackers
(stoned wheat thins or original Triscuits) because as you said we don't
get good bagels here. What we get is just fat bread, so we only get
bagels in NYC or Philly. I have, however, previously posted a smoked
salmon spread, which could be used on real bagels. -aem
