Einstein Great Find

So I was looking for something different one day around lunchtime and I wanted something with significant crunch but a new twist that I had never experienced. I'm not usually a big fan of fish, due to the dryness or the actual fishy taste while eating it. But upon arriving, I have found an amazing thing. Einstein Bros. Bagels in the HUB makes a Nova Lox and Bagel. It is your bagel of choice, toasted to perfection, covered in a base of cream cheese and topped with a cold-smoked salmon, capers, tomatoes, and onions. A more savory breakfast/lunch fit for a QUEEN in my book. (In this case, I omitted the onions because I didn't want breath reminiscent of Godzilla's.) :)

Setting: Right after class, very hungry due to small breakfast. In love and obsessed with this light snack. You get a cheesy crunchy flavor from the bagel and cream cheese (I chose Asiago), then the light salmon flavor along with the meaty texture and light flavor of the tomatoes. This is all topped off with salty capers, to give it that extra bite. Given, it's an acquired taste (a lot of people do not like fish, especially for breakfast), but for those who are willing to take the plunge into exotic and gourmet food, THIS IS A MUST TRY! :D

ps. If you are worried about Smoked Salmon being raw, here is a little explanation of what it is:

There are two types of smoked salmon:

1) is Cold Smoked - This method leaves the meat smoke cured in a cold way, giving the texture of uncooked salmon.

2) is Hot Smoked - This method actually cooks the meat using the heat of the smoke.
 - Both are SAFE TO EAT as they have been cured with smoke.

Surroundings: I was involuntarily thrust into a conversation about God by the people to the left of me while eating this... typical of a college setting with varying views on religion..
