What is Slug Slime?
|
Our legendary Slug Slime is a savory blend of toasted onions, garlic, poppy seeds, sesame seeds and salt. It is the perfect topping for any style bagel.
The history of Slug Slime goes back to the early days of Los Bagels, circa 1984 when our bagel shaper named Gwellen decide to make a batch of straight bagels. Instead of rolling the dough into a circle, he laid it out in a strand. Later that night, the bakers found these oddities, and decided to throw every bagel topping we have in the shop on them.
As customers came in the next morning they were surpised and delighted to find the newly christened "Slug" bagels on top of the counter...aptly named "Slugs" after the banana slug, who thrives here in the redwood forests of northern California.
The Slug bagel was an instant favorite. With its strong flavor, it created an immediate and devout following. Being straight, it is also less messy than a round bagel...please don't tell our other varieties!

Over time we kept getting requests from customers to shake the wire basket that the Slugs are put in after the bake, and grab the excess seeds that fall out...then sprinkle them on their bagel.
We now produce our Slug Slime for home use, so you can share in the goodness any time you like. Our crispy crunchy "Slime" is a great present from Humboldt or for the cook in your life
Now people have created all sorts of recipes and uses for our Slug Slime.
Tom in Harrisburg, PA. puts it on his baked potatoes, Jim and Shanta in Portland, OR. bread pork chops with it, Christy in Eureka puts it on her scrambled eggs...it truly adds a gourmet crunch to any dish.
