[lbo-talk] bagels/ethnicity

[Bryan Atinsky]

Funny thing, in Israel a bageleh is more or less a pretzel...often with
salt.

Though it has changed somewhat in the past years of Americanization of
Israel, mostly, the only places to buy American style bagels is in
locations with high anglo-saxon populations (especially Jerusalem).
