ISI FPB Sample Shopping List

Everyone who hosts the bagel breakfast tailors this list somewhat, based on their own preferences. Consider this a reasonable staring point:
-
Bagels/toppings
- 1-2 dozen assorted bagels; limit the number of sweet ones (most people tend towards egg, plain, wheat, poppy, onion, salt, etc. than towards raisin, cinnamon, blueberry, cranberry, chocolate, etc.)
- 2 12-oz tubs of whipped cream cheese, or 5-6 bricks of 8-oz cream cheese (whipped tends to be popular, flavors not as much, and at most one 'light' or 'fat-free')
- lox (I tend to get about 0.5-1 lbs of lox trimmings across the street, which is economical)
-
Vegetables
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 large avocado
- 1 large tomato
- 1 large white onions
- sometimes alfalfa sprouts, lettuce, etc. - in small quantities
-
Fruit
- whatever is in season is best
-
one of:
- 1 canteloupe & 1 honeydew
- 1 watermelon
- 1 tub of berries or grapes
-
one of:
- 2 apples (w/lime juice to prevent browning; 4 red, 4 green)
- 2 oranges (wedged)
- 1 pineapples
-
Sweets (pick 1) - homemade are appreciated, but not necessary
- 1 packages of danish (e.g., Entemann's)
- Cookies
- Brownies
-
Other
- Candy or other items of the season (esp. for holidays)
- Other food you like to make/eat (for us to sample!)
