Bagel or Bialy

[lenquixote66]

I loved eating bagels until 2018 when the bagel was really hard and I broke a tooth.Currently I love a toasted bialy.

Don't Care for Bialys.

 

Bagels are our favorite.

 

Egg, Sesame, Poppy, Plain, Cinn & Raisin, Onion, ? Garlic ?, Everything (too much),

• Blueberry ( ??? ), so many you see them try in Brooklyn and NYC.....

In recent years, bagels have become commonplace in the UK. I'm pretty sure that bialys havent yet made an appearance here

One of my daughters lived in the UK in the 1990’s .She said she often had a bialy for breakfast there.

Interesting. I'd Googled for it in the UK,as I'd not heard of it before,  and got no hits at all. And checked three local kosher bakeries, thinking they would be the most likely, but nothing there either.  Makes me wonder that, as your daughter has eaten them here, some places might be actually producing bialy but selling them as bagel,as that's a name known here.

Distinctive Look and Taste.........Not My Cup of Tea.....even with anything on it.

OMG, bialys?  Very hard to find the real thing outside of the NYC area.  Even when we go to our usual NYC bagel factory (Ess-a-bagel) I have never seen a bialy.

One of my son in laws was born in MD and grew up in VA never ate a bialy till he moved to NYC.
