You mean like Lender's bagels? I've seen them refrigerated. I don't like them. They're too hard. I don't know the difference, but my absolute favorite brand is Thomas's bagels. They are so soft and delicious. They are usually in the bread aisle. I bought some today, as a matter of fact.
Re: NBR: refrigerated bagels vs regular?
More preservatives. I get the frozen Rays bagels they are basically good NY bagels just frozen..I steer away from the chemical pumped ones.
Edit: You mean like the lenders bagels in the bread aisle right not the store made ones?
