das bagel

A bagel (Yiddish: בײגל, romanized: beygl; Polish: bajgiel; also spelled beigel)[1] is a bread roll originating in the Jewish communities of Poland.

I don't get the joke please explain? Is the joke that bagels are bad? Because I'm German and I love bagels

I honestly don't get to bagel hype so I would be glad if somebody could explain it to me. Why wouldn't you just have a sandwich instead?

Edit: Thank you for your detailed explanations! I don't live in the US and I have dietary restrictions, so I'm sure that I've just never had a good bagel. However you've convinced me that they are out there!

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.

We have bagel here, so.

I never saw a reason to get a bagel if I could get better tasting alternatives. However since every bakery get stupid expensive I haven't bought anything but blank buns there anyways. I'm not going to pay 6€ for some bagel and still be hungry afterwards. Keep it

... Every moderately sized grocery store here has bagels.

das Bockmist.

Plenty of bagels in Germany...but hey, why not make a meme stirring up a little controversy, right?

Of course we have bagels in Germany. But with a good Baker having one or two dozen variants of rolls anyway, nobody actually needs defect rolls with a hole in the middle.

I can also think of a reason we’re not very funny people.

For those that haven't tried them, and don't fancy going to NYC or Montreal for the "authentic bagel experience", try making your own and you'll see the huge difference between what you get in supermarkets (even good ones with good bakeries like Lidl) and a proper bagel. While there's a few steps, it's not hard to make.

But for the yanks, you should absolutely try German bakeries. I can understand why even good bagels aren't a priority for them...

We don’t? I am eating Aldi bagels right now, lol.

They might not be as widespread, or as good as in New York, especially when it comes to the fast food, but you can absolutely get them in almost every supermarket.

I had a friend from Germany say the same thing, didn't call them out on it but man I laughed later.

Well see there's was this whole thing back in the 1930s-40s...

Bagel privileges revoked!

1992 called. They want their mic back.

Who needs bagels when you can have pretzels?

Who needs bagels when you can have better bread rolls for the same price without a hole
