Sounds like an opportunity for someone to open some bagel shops.
- ulfw 7y agoHm yea. Bagels aren't very popular in China. Or really outside the US.
- Marsymars 7y agoMontreal would beg to differ.
- virtualwhys 7y agoEven outside Mile End? I think the large Orthodox Jewish community there has had some influence on the prevalence of Bagel shops in the area. Don't recall downtown, or even other areas of the plateau as having such popular bagel shops.
- cik 7y agoI'm never going to understand why people love bagels. It's not even the second best bread my people have made. Laffa and Malawach both kick bagel bottom.
- fouc 7y agoCanada has good bagels. Safeway often sells amazing cheese halapeno bagels [0] [0] https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/I9oFk8woGSbkQRIPXckLxw/o.jpg https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/I9oFk8woGSbkQRIPXckL...
- booleandilemma 7y agoIn addition to bringing countries freedom and democracy we really ought to start promoting bagels as well.
- afarrell 7y agoYea, having moved to London, I'm sad that: 1) Beigels don't have as much variety here, and I've only found them on Brick Lane or Chapel Market. Presumably there are some more places in Tottenham. 2) Chinese restaurants are not open on Christmas.
