Are the best bagels from Brick Lane in London? My family bought sesame bagels in Brick Lane, East London.
Heated them up next day. Not in the microwave. Better in the oven. Served sliced with butter, melting butter. Delicious.
I used to buy bagels in packets from Tesco Express, especially when going cheap after 6,7 and 8 pm in the evening. I used to freeze them.
I must admit the latest Brick Lane bagels got up votes from two members of the family. Crunchy outside. Slighly sweet outside. Soft inside.
Salted butter would probably enhance the flavour and counteract the sweetness.
The Brick Lane area is nowadays no longer the Jewish area it once was, but has been taken over by the next influx of refugees, so expect to see lots of 'Indian' continent restaurants and snack bars, offering foods from around the world.
You could read a book whilst eating a bagel, but I would rather concentrate on each one without the distraction of the other.
