What I Will Miss: Bagels, Pork Rolls, and Pizza




Yesterday's blog made me realize that when I am in England, I will miss bagels. There is nothing better than a good bagel. Really, there isn't. It is NOT a piece of bread with a hole in it; it is a work of art.


My love for bagels leads me to think about another but very non-Kosher thing to miss: Pork Roll. I am not sure if I will find a roll of pork in England as brilliantly fried into a disc as are found in NJ. Slap that on a bagel with cheese and an egg: baby, you got yourself a sandwich.


The last thing I will miss today is pizza. Pizza, like bagels, tend to get worse the further from New York City you get. It also, like bagels, depends on a specific ethnic group. I grew up ordering pizza from a large obnoxious Italian man named Nikki for 20 years. He called everyone bums, and he would give the neighbor hood kids free pizza if we folded enough boxes.

I will miss these foods, but I do enjoy tea!
