Bagel...?

"If you read the history of bagels you will find they began next door in Poland -  even given the world wars and the Holocaust I find it hard to fathom not being able to get great bagels there."

The next chance to buy fresh bagels is 20 kilometers from here, in the town of Oldenburg.

NYPizzaNut ~ order them frozen and 'par baked' and finish them yourself. That's what a lot of restaurants far away from NYC do.

We have a great bagel factory store in Blue Ash so that is good for us - as far as good Italian bread Meijer Supermarket sells Ace Breads from Canada made like you mention and we get it generally about once a week or so as they are only 35 or so miles down the road.

Too bad you you can't get great pizza sent that way.

If you want great pizza where there isn't any, I suggest you make it yourself. Not that difficult!

Make sure you have someone in NYC send you the water!

"Make sure you have someone in NYC send you the water!"

"Kosher" water is somewhat hard to find here in Germany...

Shalom!

Well, then have someone send a rabbi with the water.

@ Twin...

to be a little serious, Bagels were unkown here in Germany, within the last 10 - 15 years, the Bagel came back to my homeland. Everything "jewish" is a bit problematic here, I do not like to talk about the Holocaust, and our eternal german shame.

Nowadays, here in Germany we have a multicultural supply of food, and also fantastic foreign dishes, and we love it, turkish Doener-Kebap is the best selling fast-food over here in Germany, not Currywurst, not even Bratwurst.

There are also many jewish kosher restaurants, to sorry only in the big major cities, I never had the chance to dine there.

Serving a Bagel to my grandmother (1914-2003), the ol lady thought, it was a piece of cake, with cream cheese and lox, she did not taste it...

Most of us germans are somewhat conservative, when it comes to "exotic" food, I like it, the variety, just great!

Noah's Super Onion with cream cheese, fresh spinach and cucumbers.  Has to be toasted.

Hey, Michael - is doener kebap the same as Gyros?  Which leads to my question for anyone here, how do I post pics?

Here a link to a video tutorial, how to upload pictures from your harddisk in the internet and post them in a forum.

Moin, rainyday6!

Gyros (Greek): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyros

Doener Kebab (Turkish): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%B6ner_kebab

Both dishes are very tasty, you can buy this food all over Germany and Europe, I prefer thy typical turkish Doener Kebab as sandwich (Pita), or scalloped with Mozzarella or Gouda cheese, add some Pommes (French Fries), and you are happy.



Mahlzeit!

Everything bagel, hard fried egg, provalone, Taylor Pork Roll. mmmmm

that sounds delicious.

I've tried a couple of bagel places in Upstate South Carolina in recent weeks.

A couple weeks back, I had a bagel with lox, cream cheese, tomatoes and capers at The (Hudson) Bagel Company in Clemson. That's how they spell the name; don't know why Hudson is in parentheses.

I really liked it. It was the first time I'd ever had lox. So tasty!

This morning I had breakfast with friends at the Greenfield Deli in Greenville, SC. Had a bagel with nova (the counterman described it as less salty lox), tomatoes, onions, lettuce and cream cheese, on a sun-dried tomato bagel. I paired it with a side of health salad, which I'd never tried before. I really liked it. And the bagel was delicious.

I noticed too late that they had a selection of Dr. Brown sodas, including the cel-ray. I'll have to get one next time.
