I am not from Toronto and neither from Montreal so I really do not know where to stand, the fact that I have not tasted the bagels from either place. Anyway, thank you for sharing the site where I can have the recipe for Montreal bagels. I am not planning to judge it; I am just up for a new taste of bagel.

There is no doubt about it. If you want to enjoy the real deal, my favorite bagel shop in Montreal, Mount Royal Bagel will ship to anywhere..so you dont even have to go out and try to find them & get them.

As an American who spent six years in Tor...Hi Ruth,<br />As an American who spent six years in Toronto (and miss it terribly!), we had not only never had "Montreal-style" bagels, we were totally unaware of their existence. When we moved into Scarborough, and were looking for good bagels, friends told us we needed to go to Gryfe's on Bathurst. And thus started a love affair! We LOVE Gryfe's and miss them, and I got onto your blog by googling "Gryfe's bagels + recipe". <br /><br />NYC bagels vs Montreal-style? It depends on what day it is! I love the chewiness of a NYC-style and I love the flavor of a Montreal-style. We recently found a bagel place close to where we live in central Pennsylvania (an area not conducive to lots of delis such as Coleman's on Bathurst or bakeries of any kind) which are quite good, but it's made me homesick for Gryfe's. I have a pretty good bagel recipe for NYC style, but nothing for Gryfe's. <br /><br />Thus, Google found you for me, and you, GOD BLESS YOU, had a link for a recipe for Montreal-style bagels! <br /><br />I'm ordering my malt powder from King Arthur Flour TODAY so I can try those bagels ASAP!<br /><br />Thanks again<br />Sharon AbrahamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12516077.post-1117037298116560232005-05-25T13:08:00.000-03:002005-05-25T13:08:00.000-03:00RUTHIE,Audrey here - your longlost adopted Montrea...RUTHIE,<BR/>Audrey here - your longlost adopted Montreal daughter. Sharron (Shroon) filled me in on your blog endeavour - so very exciting! I look forward to following its progression...<BR/>As far as bagels go - of course, I'm a die hard Montreal bagel girl. But I've moved to NY recently (going to school) and have met a lot of diehard NY bagel people. And I have to confess, these NY bagels are pretty good. It's just, in my mind, they're not really bagels. I like them, but to be a bagel it has to come from St. Viateur street's wood burning ovens and has to be served to me by a perfectly bilingual anglo bagel craftsman. know what i mean?<BR/>My family didn't know, until recently, about the NY bagel craze, so when a NY friend of mine came to stay at my parents' house and brought NY bagels as a gift, my family totally innocently asked, "why the hell are you bringing us bagels?" - without a hint of irony. the person felt badly, i was embarassed, but in the end, it was actually quite funny!!<BR/>OK - that's it. can't wait to read more.<BR/>Love from NYC!<BR/>Audrey "Audge" SassonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12516077.post-1116941988538531972005-05-24T10:39:00.000-03:002005-05-24T10:39:00.000-03:00Hiya,Well, you KNOW I completely agree with the Mo...Hiya,<BR/>Well, you KNOW I completely agree with the Montreal bagel cult! "My Market Bakery" in Kensington Market has ACTUAL Montreal bagels most of the time, so for people like me who live downtown with no car, and who never go further north than Bloor except when they're going to your house for supper(haha)it's an idea. Thanks for the fiddleheads. They were GREAT! LOVE YOU. Bye.<BR/> xx <BR/> eAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
