Not a vast, frozen-bagel wasteland
БыÑтрый: Think of “рогалики,” then tell me what you think of next. Плавленый ÑÑ‹Ñ€? Жидкий киÑлород? Ðью-Йорк?
ОК, so you probably didn’t say “Канада,” did you?
Ðо еÑли вы думаете, что Канада ÑвлÑетÑÑ Ð¾Ð´Ð½Ð¸Ð¼ подавлÑющее, frozen-bagel wasteland, подумайте еще раз.
Среди канадцев, Montreal is universally revered as the center of the country’s bagel universe, with perpetual rivals Fairmount Бублик и St-Viateur Bagel vying for top bagel honors. The Montreal bagel was even nominated as one of the Семь Ñ‡ÑƒÐ´ÐµÑ ÐšÐ°Ð½Ð°Ð´Ñ‹ in a CBC contest (although it didn’t win out over ÐиагарÑкий водопад, the СкалиÑтые горы, или иглу.)
Видимо, there’s now a “Montreal-style” bagel shop in Beverly Hills, Санкт-. Урбен Street Бублик. Unfortunately for homesick Montrealers, однако, a Ðедавнее Montreal Gazette ÑÑ‚Ð°Ñ‚ÑŒÑ gripes that “The sight of a distinctive Canadian culinary item in the world’s most famous shopping district might be cause for pride. Один факт иÑключением: The doughy confections for sale in Beverly Hills have as much resemblance to Montreal bagels as Velveeta does to cheddar.”
The article’s author Джефф РобертÑ, who writes about intellectual property issues for McGill University’s Centre for Intellectual Property Policy, uses this California abomination as an example of how Canada needs to do a better job at protecting its distinctive culinary products. In the same way that France protects the name Champagne, он утверждает,, Канада должна ограничивать иÑпользование рогалика прозвищем МонреальÑкого.
If you’re just interested in eating рогалики, хотÑ, rather than protecting them, головка Ð´Ð»Ñ ÐœÐ¾Ð½Ñ€ÐµÐ°Ð»Ðµ. And even if you’re not in Montreal, it’s possible to get a decent Canadian bagel.
Ð’ Ванкувере, our family favorite is Solly’s Bagels, но Siegel’s также еÑÑ‚ÑŒ Ñвои поклонники. Ð’ Торонто, еда и пиÑатель-путешеÑтвенник Ðми Розен (кто блоги в Ðациональный Ðош) recommends Санкт-. Урбен Бублик, What a Bagel, и Бублик Дом.
What’s your favorite Canadian bagel?
