[net.cooks] regional cookery--NY City

sebb@pyuxss.UUCP (11/11/83)

	I'll probably get some arguments about this one, but
my vote for regional cookery for NYC is bagels and lox. I know
of few places outside the NY metro area that can make a decent
bagel and still fewer that believe that a bagel without lox is
like a day without sunshine. And to further emphasize this point
I have a little joke. 
	A Texan family goes to NY. They go out for breakfast
one morning and order bagels and lox because they've heard 
so much about this delicacy. The waiter brings the bagels and
lox and the family sets to eating them with great relish.
After a little while Daddy Texan calls over the waiter and
says(in a Texan accent) "We really like this here food in
NY, but could you please tell which are the bagels and which
are the lox??"

I agree with Sharon's description of the wonderful bagels
and lox found in NYC, however, one can find even BETTER bagels in
Montreal.  But if you visit NYC, be sure to go to Zabar's for
mouth-watering bagels and lox (I miss it).
