I pretty much agree with the majority of the European and American commenters decrying the author as a spoiled rube. Having said that, I will take exception to the European commenters claiming the bagels in Europe are “awesome.” While it’s true that it’s not necessarily difficult to find bagels on the European continent, they most certainly are not awesome. They’re pretty bad, in fact. In all fairness, though, American bagels outside of NYC tend to be pretty bad too.
