A short video still featuring a woman with blonde hair and a text overlay that reads "Things I prefer in the US as a German" with American and German flag emojis, and further states "I don't know why we don't have bagels in Germany."

Above this, the social media post caption reads "I can think of a reason!" The post is from "Vikram Bath @vikrambath.bsky.social."

I just want to put it out there that not all begals are equal...

In Southern California we have places like "Einstein's Begals". These taste like soggy compressed cardboard.

In New York, however, they have these crispy, amazing circles of heaven. These are life-changing.

you must boil them first, then bake them.

if you just bake them, all you get is a shitty dinner roll. not a bagel.

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 20 points 2 years ago

If its not boiled, how can it even be called a bagel? That's false advertising...

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Yes! This is it exactly.

Do you realise that you're spelling it 'begal', and everyone else is saying bagel?

[–] Deway@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They lived in New-York, they know how to say begal.

You have to put baking soda in the water too, right?

No, you have to put 17 million dead micro crustaceans. Orthodox Jews, who will leave the oven running all day so they don't have to push a button on the sabbath, literally made a religious exception to the shellfish rule so they could eat New York bagels.

IDK it's something about NY water that makes them taste better.

I was thinking of pretzels.
