[UC] best bagel

2007-01-12 Thread Gail Massey
Challahman, on Walton avenue, is producing yummy whole wheat bagels. 
They are currently a work-in-progress, but they are definitely well 
worth eating.  If you would like to know what is being baked each 
week at Four Worlds Bakery, send  a request to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The bagels are 1/2-baked?

Dear Wendy,

Native means to be born here.
It's from the Latin root for birth. 

Young as you are, you only rate
UC old-timer or
UC long-timer.
:-)

If you are blessed with children, while in the 'hood, they would be
considered UC natives.

I am glad you are my neighbor, on list, and on the streets.

Sadly, I agree that the best bagels are from Kaplan's, at third and
Poplar, but I have been happy with bread and bagels purchased at
Metropolitan, on 40th and Walnut, so have not made a bagel trip out of
the 'hood in several years.  Cyndy is more discriminating, and perhaps
more portable, so she may have to taste test all of the recommendations
and get back to us with the winning bagel.

Belated welcome and
Feliz Navidad and Buenos Annos Nuevos!

Liz
(UC Native and occasional voice for non list natives and long time
neighbors)

Does this make me a Native American!? I've always wondered which box to
check.


(re: bagle -- are these bagles made here or are they made somewhere else
and trucked in? Is there a place in philly that _makes_ bagles? Is it
true that NY bagles taste different?)

Speaking of New York City . when I was a starving dirty hippie in the
East Village (summer of 69) we used to patronize this Polish bakery on 14th
St between Avenues A and B. They sold bagels, bialys  and bulkas, and other
wonderful yeasty products for a dime or a quarter. Not only that, but the
aroma of their amazing bagel factory drifted down through the neighborhood.
I remember sitting on the fire escape, sniffing the aroma, munching on a
bulka, and throwing stones at the rats on the warehouse roof down below.
(This of course was long before Dr. Jacobson was even born.) For more
substantial fare we would truck down to Katz's on Houston Street where a
knish (mustard included) retailed for forty cents. And if you had eighty
cents you could go for a fat greasy kielbasa. Katz's had signs saying Send
a salami to your boy in the army. Ah sweet memories.

lol...

Well, Katz's is still there, but all the mom-and-pop stores along 14th Street 
have been replaced by NYU-approved national chains

The best bagel I have ever had - in New York or anywhere - was from the bakery 
on Roosevelt Island. They trucked the bread in from a kosher baker in Queens. 
Slightly crunchy on the outside, satisfyingly chewy on the inside.

New York Bagels on Haverford, just before City Line open until 5 most
days, closed Saturdays, until 4 on Sunday I think. They are exactly
what bagels are supposed to be.

I don't know how this thread got started, but the bakery at Third   Poplar is 
excellent also (can't remember the name; they also have the best hamentashen), 
besides City Line.   

The Kennedy Market at 19th  JFK always has a great assortment of bagels and is 
the best small market in the whole area.  They sell Acme herring in cream sauce 
that has enough onions.  

There is also the market on the first floor of the Philadelphian, called 
Kramer's.   Best-tasting chopped liver.

And if you want a real treat, try Famous Deli before Passover for fresh grated 
horseradish.  I can't imagine the new owner discontinuing that practice.  They 
actually used to bring an ancient grater out in the front of the store.  The 
fumes were too strong to grate inside.  It is a very large wooden contraption 
that seems to date to turn-of-the-century.
