I live in Sweden, and here bagels are against the law
it must be anyway, because I have never seen a bagel here in Sweden, and I'm not sure that they would be my favorite bread (I'm more of a sourdough guy
)
Well, there's a lot of great bread in Europe (though I don't know about Sweden specifically). Much as I love bagels, I don't miss them in Europe. I think my favorite breads are those german ones full of nuts and sunflower seeds that weigh about a ton. There's plenty of great crusty bread to gnaw on at breakfast, who needs bagels?
