A short video still featuring a woman with blonde hair and a text overlay that reads "Things I prefer in the US as a German" with American and German flag emojis, and further states "I don't know why we don't have bagels in Germany."
Above this, the social media post caption reads "I can think of a reason!" The post is from "Vikram Bath @vikrambath.bsky.social."
I just want to put it out there that not all begals are equal...
In Southern California we have places like "Einstein's Begals". These taste like soggy compressed cardboard.
In New York, however, they have these crispy, amazing circles of heaven. These are life-changing.
you must boil them first, then bake them.

If its not boiled, how can it even be called a bagel? That's false advertising...
Yes! This is it exactly.
Do you realise that you're spelling it 'begal', and everyone else is saying bagel?
They lived in New-York, they know how to say begal.
They're the worst.
Maybe he's taking about dogs.
It's the water.
You have to put baking soda in the water too, right?
IDK it's something about NY water that makes them taste better.
I was thinking of pretzels.
