Just came to realize that there are manyyyy styles of bagels, so for those that had no idea like me, here is some handy info when you stand on a Starbucks line wondering whats the difference:
**New York Style Bagel** contains salt and malt and is BOILED in water prior to baking in a standard oven. The resultingis puffy with a moist crust.
**Montreal Bagel** contains malt and sugar with no salt; it is boiled in honey-sweetened water before baking in a wood-fired oven; and it is predominantly either of the poppy "black" or sesame "white" seeds variety, is smaller (though with a larger hole), crunchier, and sweeter.]
**The traditional London bagel (or beigel as it is spelled) is harder and has a coarser texture with air bubbles.
I stick to NY as usual.
