A short video still featuring a woman with blonde hair and a text overlay that reads "Things I prefer in the US as a German" with American and German flag emojis, and further states "I don't know why we don't have bagels in Germany."

Above this, the social media post caption reads "I can think of a reason!" The post is from "Vikram Bath @vikrambath.bsky.social."

I don't hate bagels, but in the end it's just pretty dry funny shaped bread. I assume americans go crazy for bagels because their normal bread is ass. If you have some good alternatives or you can bake yourself, i don't really see the point.

I would not describe bagels as "dry."

Idk what bagels you've been eating, but we have clearly had different experiences with bagels.

If your bagel is dry and you can't distinguish it from normal bread, you've never actually had a real bagel.

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

Yes, I can see how you would not like bagels if you've never had a good bagel.

[–] frontporchtreat@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

do you mean dense? I would say bagels are dense. But when talking about bread I could see how dry and dense could be similar.

Ah, your bagels are terrible, presumably for the reason the meme implies
