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."

And a staple of a New York Classic, the Breakfast Sandwich! New Yorkers might pick fights over how other cities do their pizza and hotdogs, but god help you if you try to take their breakfast egg and bagel.

When a place just tries to microwave the egg to put on their steamed bagel 😠

Eggs in the womb.?

It's too much bread for a breakfast sandwich. Let the bagel stand on its own.

Good breakfast sandwiches scoop the bagel out.

Correct, the egg sandwich goes on a roll.

A big pile of pastrami and provolone? You better believe it's going on a bagel. Preferably pumpernickel.

I honestly prefer a good buttermilk biscuit for breakfast sandwiches. If you have a Tudor's Biscuit World near you go try them out! They are the only good fast food restaurant to work for, as in you get benefits, stock options, and will retire comfortably if you stay with them for 20 years. They also make some absolutely banging giant biscuit sandwiches.

I love a bagel, but bialys make even better breakfast sandwiches

Going to Russ and Daughters ruined me on other bagels

Listen I love bagels. I just want to say that, there's a reason it's so popular and done so well by the good people living in NYC.

It's probably the same reason that bagels are either rare, or kind of suck by comparison in Germany.

Somewhere a German is struggling to formulate a humerous retort.

Thank you, that cleared up the confusion.

Bagels come from Poland? They aren't even a thing here anymore. I never saw one in my life.

I can think of a reason!
