I also occasionally write about life as an expatriate. I hope you enjoy what I post here; feel free to leave comments! Read more Yes, good memories! Love it! Imagine the horror to see bagels served with ham and melted cheese on them when I moved to Minnesota. Where do you even start with so many levels of wrong? Bagels are acceptable in a few different versions: plain, sesame seed, poppy seed, onion, salt or egg. They should NOT be sweet, like blueberry bagels or chocolate chip, and, given that they were originally a Jewish food, ham and cheese is about as sacrilegious as it can get!
Yes, and I live in Holland. I know! It was crowded! And there were just a few small tables next to benches, with no table service. On their side they were remarkably quick and efficient with filling orders. So glad that you found good bagels, the perfect one for you! I have found it fascinating how international the bagel has come. We even saw bagel shops in China. I just read a fascinating article on Eater that explains why bagels taste better in New York!
And I often try them and end up disappointed! I have heard about New York bagels but have never tasted one. I look forward to trying them some day, although if I find them as good as others claim, the experience may spoil me for other bagels.
And, yes, it spoiled me for other bagels. I only very rarely eat them. Food is such a fun part of the travel! Funny thing about bagels — people have very strong preferences. We tried bagels in NYC, too and our party is split.
My husband and son think bagels should be plain or savory. My daughter loves the cheesy ones and I love sweet. Love that your bagels have such sweet memories! They found that there was indeed a difference in pH levels. New York water, reports Gizmodo, has lower levels of calcium carbonate and magnesium. This explains why in other metropolitan locales with harder water, the bagels come out tougher -- the hardness of the water toughens up the gluten.

Lastly, America's Test Kitchen tested the pH levels in the bagels after they'd fermented yes, their recipe leaves the bagels out overnight to ferment -- this in fact is actually one of the reasons New York City bagels are so great and the difference was miniscule.
All that information led them to conclude that New York water can't take the credit for the finished product of the bagel. So what is it then that makes NYC bagels so glorious? According to America's Test Kitchen, it's all about the recipe. Therefore, Jewish people were able to eat this type of bread without having to go through the usual religious rituals of hand washing and blessing the bread before eating.
Bagels came to the U. They were sold on street corners by Jewish immigrants who used the hole in the bagel to stack them on long sticks. It appeared in Time, Family Circle and other magazines. This is also the time that toppings like cream cheese, butter and smoked salmon became popular. He also experiments with new flavors, like onion and pumpernickel. Bagels, like pretzels, are boiled first to create a crunchy exterior. Bagels are boiled in water usually 30 to 60 seconds before hitting the oven.
This boiling causes the starch on the exterior of the bread to gel and create a barrier from the interior dough. How long you boil a bagel greatly affects the crust and texture inside. A longer boil produces a thicker crust and very dense interior, while a shorter boil produces a thinner crust and softer interior.
Sometimes lye or barley is added to water for flavor and to help the crust brown in the oven. Today, many bakeries use baking soda as a substitute for lye. Unlike the traditional boiling method, Janelle says Einstein has steam injection ovens that simulate the boiling process.
