The bagel itself is not hollow but it dose have a hollow.

edit: the more I think of it yes bagels can be described as hollow.

A bagel = not hollow imo

Hollow

noun: a cavity or space in something

verb: remove the inner part or the core of

adjective: not solid; having a space or gap or cavity

I know what you guys are saying but I think you could describe it as hollow.

It's not hollow, it's a ring.

Would you classify a ring as being hollow?!

The_B_Man · 20-10-2009 6:20am

what about chain links? are they all hollow or do they have a combined hollowness?

No, I wouldn't describe it as hollow.

Shazbot · 20-10-2009 6:51am

It's not hollow, it's torus.

The cavity is not in the structure of the Bagel though. To be "hollow", the cavity must be contrained within the structure itself....as in, completely surrounding the "hollow", otherwise....you have a hole.

If you consider bread to be hollow then yes it can. The air pockets in the breads could be considered hollows. As the structure of bread happens to have air though in real terms it can't be considered hollow.The hole in a bagel does not make it hollow though.

I've always seen them as a hole partially encased in Jew bread, whereas fully enclosed, like a tennis ball, it would be more of a trapped cavity.

Bagels are sh1t, therefore holey sh1t, and not hollow.

Kold · 20-10-2009 11:38am

They're chewy.

The hollow bagel is not a myth.There appears to be one shop in Preston,Texas which sells hollow bagels.

No. And remember, bagels have feelings too.

dr.bollocko · 20-10-2009 12:32pm

You can heat them up and have sex with them.
So not hollow.

wudangclan · 20-10-2009 12:41pm

We are the hollow bagels
we are the stuffed bagels
been eaten together
mainpiece filled with ham.Alas
our sun-dried tomatoes,when
mixed with green peppers
are trite and meaningless
as marge on dry toast
in our dry larder
