	Depends on whether the fressers are Jewish or not!  :-)  :-)

	If they're really fressers, you get 4 or so bagels to an 8 oz.
	brick of cream cheese. You can stretch it to about 6, but
	there's something terribly unsatisfying about that.  In my
	house, we can never get more than 4 or 5 -- sometimes less :-)
	Also depends on the quality of the bagels -- really fresh,
	warm, homemade bagels require more cream cheese. "Lender's"
	type bagels -- well, I dunno.

	As for lox -- it really depends if you have real lox eaters, and
	what kind of salmon it is.  If it's the "salty" lox, people will
	eat much less.  If it's the so-called "Nova/belly" lox (the "non-salty"
	kind), people will eat much more.  For real "fressers", you can get 
	about 12 to 16 or so bagels on a pound of really excellent salmon.  
	(Perhaps >50 bagels on a pound of mediocre lox :-)  !!)

	Does this help?

389.2And don't forget the whitefish!CADSYS::RICHARDSONTue Oct 27 1987 12:249
    I usually figure (for the two of us) to buy half a dozen bagels,
    3/4 lb of chive cheese (the "real" stuff, with scallions in it,
    not chives), and 3 large or six little slices of lox (handcut, of
    course - Paul doesn't like the kind that is packed in oil).  So
    figure upwards from there - remembering that Paul is extremely fond
    of chive cheese, so most people won't eat as much of it as he does.
    
    Pick up a couple of nice, not-too-salty, whitefish while you are
    at the deli -- I'll be right over!  :-)
389.3don't waste the lox!CSSE32::MERMELLTastevin en mainTue Oct 27 1987 17:495
Don't forget that lox is for "plain" bagels, and perhaps onion.
Bagels like garlic, raisin-pumpernickel, and strawberry-rhubarb
should be reserved for butter, cream cheese, peanut butter, jam,
marmalade, etc.

    	RE:.3	Peanut Butter?  Jam?  Marmalade?  Wrong conference fella.
    
    	RE:.0	What you are asking for is a relationship between
    		BAGELS, CREAM CHEESE and LOX, not an algorithm. 
    		
    	RE: Minder
    
	There are also topics in this conference devoted
	to food and/or bagels in particular.  Please check
