Bagels, the Taste of America

Think of Bagels, and you're already in Katz's deli in downtown Manhattan, munching a delicious Bagel filled with pastrami cream cheese and topped with relish - but did you know that Bagels originated in Europe and only crossed the Atlantic with emigrants early this century?

Our bagels are made to an authentic New York recipe to give an attractive glazed top, soft crust and delicious authentic flavour.

Emphasis added. To be fair, the bagels aren't half bad for ones sold in supermarkets, especially considering we're talking about England here. But someone might want to check the menu at Katz's.
