It's almost an even chance that they will be out of sesame bagels by lunchtime. I asked why they don't just make more, and was told something about how long they rise, and how little space they have.

Does it take longer for the sesame bagels to rise than the other kinds of bagel? If they sell out by noon, they are obviously selling. You're right that one would think it would be worth the trouble.

(I get my bagels from the Boston Smoked Fish Co., which does not usually have issues. I think yesterday was just special.)
