Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on July 09, 2025, 09:05:47 AMWe do love food... but we're vegetarians! So I don't think the brisket or reuben is going to be for us. I will definitely remember to try the bagels, Montreal-style. What does that mean? Are they different somehow?
There are good vegetarian places, but since I have so many plant-based food intolerances since I was sick that I can't actually become a vegetarian, or I wouldn't have much proteins to eat :-(
Are they different... Oh boy!
The abomination you call bagels, is a pastry. It has far too much salt in it, and are basically processed food. They are are basically bread with a hole in them (as said in the video below). They are boiled in baking soda, yuck.
The Montreal style bagels are something else... artisanal, fresh, boiled in honey water with a golden crush with an fluffly internal.
