This Is What I Miss About The City
May 8, 2008I know I’m a snotty New Yorker, and yes, I’m a bit high maintenance and like things the way I like them, but…
this is not a bagel,
and this is not a croissant.
Feh!

Dude, don’t even get me started on the Ranchero, Chorizo, and Chipotle (you have Mexican, Mexican, or Mexican to choose from?!) bagels at a nearby donut shop.
My mom used to say “like ham on bagels” to describe people or things NOT kosher, but this is ridicuwockle-!

I would have to agree entirely. Although they are few and far between, a real bagel can found on the west coast (usually made be a new yorker) but Idon’t know where. If I am not mistaken they originated in France and were sold on/off sticks, thus the hole. Rosario always complained about the bagels of Oregon, snotty newyorquino. love ya cuz, lina.
PS– I have a blog too: http://radiogasolina.blogspot.com

If Fanny Brice found a modern bagel on a plate full of onion rolls, she might not know which one’s the bagel.
Personally, bagels and I have never been friends. But I weep for the croissanteur who happens across that pepperjack monstrosity.
