one time I was eating a lox bagel at the airport terminal and a guy near me started freaking out and yelling into the phone that “this kid is eating FISH on a BAGEL can you BELIEVE IT?!” sir this is the traditional way to eat a bagel in America; get with the program
More proof that america is an elaborate hoax
#i. actually do not believe you
wait which part? that bagels with lox is traditional (it’s Yiddish) or that some Americans have never heard of it and think it’s a really bizarre new way to eat a bagel?
I’m canadian, and bagels with smoked salmon and cream cheese are a CLASSIC!! i’ve never been to a bagel shop or brunch place that didn’t serve this delicious meal.
Yeah, like NYC, Montreal was a significant gateway to the continent, drew a founding Jewish immigrant population around merchant shipping, and went on to develop a strong Jewish food tradition - the Montreal bagel is a distinct thing, and Montreal steak seasoning comes from deli pickling spices.
