I don’t know what to say, buddies, besides {that a} snacking bread with capers, cream cheese pockets, and copious quantities of all the things bagel spice mix is my thought of a VERY good time. The softness of the bread coupled with the creaminess of the cheese, the tang from the capers, the sharpness from the flaked garlic and dried minced onion, and the crunch from the poppy seeds is simply all the things (pun meant) that your mouth has been asking for.
