This couple were originally from the Brick Lane area but now live in Oslo ( @saltireblue ).
Coming back they went to the bagel shop and reminiscing thought that the quality of the bagels had declined since they lived there.
Personally I don't like bagels

I walk far too much Garry, I haven't adapted to just hanging around in one area - but my feet pay the price!Gosh, Roger! You really got around on that London visit. Could I suggest that, if you can, do Brick Lane on a Sunday, when the food market and the 'vintage' market are both open. Lots of people, stacks of opportunities for some great street shots.
There are bagels and there are bagels. The soggy things offered in supermarkets aren't entirely to my taste either!Personally I don't like bagels![]()
Apparently the Brick Lane Bagel Shop is supposed to be the best but I can never understand why you need a sandwich bun with a hole in the middle!There are bagels and there are bagels. The soggy things offered in supermarkets aren't entirely to my taste either!

The bagels that I was brought up on, had a thin hard glazed crust all over, with a lovely soft dough inside. My mum had a knife which she kept honed for slicing them. They were often spread with schmaltz, although butter and/or jam were also very acceptable. My Mum made them herself, if she had time. When she did not, those from the bakery in Glasgow's Allison Street were considered an "acceptable" alternative.Apparently the Brick Lane Bagel Shop is supposed to be the best but I can never understand why you need a sandwich bun with a hole in the middle!![]()
long time since I photo captured a person - I did ask his permission - fine so long as it was not for 'the press' was the answerView attachment 443814
