Definitely, since there are whole bagel bakeries in germany.

I read they are actually fairly popular there. It was clever bait, though. Here we are in the replies.

There probably aren't many countries in the world that don't have bagels at least in some places.

Try saying "Malaysian bagel bakers" three times real fast. I think they are getting popular in Kuala Lampur but they brand them as "American food". Who doesn't love a bagel?

Nicely stolen from twitter

Where it was stolen from TikTok! I retweeted it on Twitter. If I post something here from Twitter I will sometimes credit the author, but in this case the original author is whoever made the video. (I haven’t fully thought through the ethics of all this, but that’s where I’m at right now)

The original video does eventually get to the...reason

I feel like it's a riff off an old Robin Williams bit too.

one of my favorite bagels I ever had was in Prague in like 2011, but apparently that spot was founded by American expats

The Jewish re-incursion into Prague was really uneven. lol. When I visited in 1998 or so somebody had opened a falafel place in the old Jewish quarter, but they were selling them with ketchup and/or mayonnaise instead of hummus or tahina…

Americans get a lot of shit for adapting foods to suit local palates, but Central Europe is given way too big of a pass here

you want the saddest Mexican food of your life? go to Germany

I'm talking to you specifically, "Habanero's" in Schweinfurt, Bavaria

okay they changed their name to Chumbo's, but people DON'T forget

To a European, lazily throwing canned beans and chili powder on something is what makes anything "mexican" and it got to a point that it took me 25 years before I ever decided to ever try a taco, out of my prior disgust.

I know why the cheese sauce tastes like Knorr chicken bouillon, but I don't ~understand~

I saw someone on here post about “the most authentic Mexican food in Denver”, and it was a picture of nachos with lettuce and shredded cheddar that looked like it was from Taco Bell.

On the one hand: I am terribly sorry for your 25 tacoless years. On the other hand: I never had salmon growing up, except the tinned stuff, so I thought I didn't care for it until I was about 20.

See also: Chinese food in Italy. I don't know why I thought that was a good idea.

I did have some decent Mexican in Berlin.

What I need to know is if she's being roasted in the comments or if this is actually a good example of how quickly society has forgotten.

She’s been roasted in stitches and comments

between the time it took me to hit enter and the search results to appear I figure out how stupid my “are stores closed on 11/11 in Germany” question was. But it’s the only reason I found out cologne starts carnival on November 11 so it was helpful.

I think you're confusing the ninth of November with the eleventh? If they did anything on the eleventh it would commemorate the end of WWI, not Krystalnacht.
