A bagel is just a sandwich that doesn't have any toppings/ingredients.

Because, i pretty much wouldn't call anything you get in any other city a "bagel"
you could say the same thing about two pieces of bread, which is what they are until you put shit in between them to make them a sandwich

one thing that I don't get is why it's so hard to find a good bagel elsewhere, it's not like ny bagels require anything that can't be found in montana, bagels are pretty simple. I've heard it's cause people often skip the malt syrup, but I think it generally comes down to 'fresh bread is good bread + places that consume a lot of bread are gonna get fresh bread'. it's a virtuous cycle type thing.

i've always been told it was the water.

isn't it that the water in ny is special or some shit (i'm not making this up)

― blingee cummings (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 22 March 2011 17:07 (thirteen years ago) link
It's the boiling. You have to boil them. Bagels that are just baked are bready and gross.
Anyway, bialys are better than any kind of bagel.

yeah but the boiling step is also something you can do anywhere, water boils in montana too.
― iatee, Tuesday, 22 March 2011 17:10 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah but places don't. I mean some don't. I just don't think you should even CALL it a bagel if you didn't boil it first.

montreal bagels are distinctly better than nyc bagels, which are also dope. apparently it's one of the only cities that has evaded/never been able to implement regulation outlawing wood ovens which are to "dangerous" for most cities

the PBR thing is funny. i thought the whole point of embracing something like PBR was to not give a shit (or show that you don't give a shit) (or both) about fancy foods, having the correct taste, etc. and then this one beer out of maybe 30 common cheap beers becomes the "cool" cheap beer. it's like congratulations, you are shipping the same quantity of tribalist plumage as your peers but are also stuck with shitty beer.

I've never met anyone who drank PBR other than my grandparents in the 1980s, but I had a friend who got like that about Natty Boh.

The beer experienced a sales revival in the early 2000s after a two decade-long slump, largely due to its increasing popularity among the 20-something demographic in cities such as Oswego, New York; Norman, Oklahoma; Columbus, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Ann Arbor, Michigan; Portland, Oregon; and Richmond, Virginia.[5][7] As a result, it has become popularly associated with the contemporary hipster subculture.[8][9]
Although the Pabst website features user-submitted photography, much of which features twenty-something Pabst drinkers dressed in alternative fashions,[10] the company has opted not to fully embrace the countercultural label in its marketing, fearing that it could jeopardize the very "authenticity" that made the brand popular[5][11][12] as was the case with the poorly received OK Soda. Pabst instead targets its desired market as an authentic American beer through product placement in films such as Gran Torino,[13] as well as targeting its niche through the sponsorship of indie music concerts, local businesses, post-collegiate sports teams,[14] dive bars and radio programming like National Public Radio's All Things Considered.[7][15]
