Something I find REALLY interesting is what foods fill what niches in different areas. FOR EXAMPLE.

Growing up in a very Jewish area, there were SO many delis and so on that had bagels and lox. To some extent, I just assumed that was a staple breakfast item.

Living in Milldegeville didn't really dispel this notion. Like. Of COURSE Milledgeville doesn't have it, you can't get breakfast in Milledgeville unless it's Wendy's or McDonald's or (in the last year or so) Dunkin. Oh, and Chic Fil A. Those were your options, I'm not kidding.

But living up in Michigan, it's like. The only way to get ANY lox at all is to go to Einstein Bros or maybe Bruegger's Bagels and get a sandwich.

Instead, that entire breakfast-lunch meal niche is actually filled by Coneys, aka Greek foods. Which is really neat!

Presumably other areas have similar fills for the niche of "breakfast that isn't strictly breakfast" but I have only lived in a couple of places in my life and I was too young when we lived in Wisconsin to remember what Green Bay had going.

All that said I really fucking miss bagels and lox,

I am very appreciative of the accessibility of so many foods with olives in them tho

Tacos. Just breakfast tacos down here.

Himbo Agenda : LMFAO. I don't know what I expected. Of course it's breakfast tacos.

BREAKFAST TACOOOOOOS

Welcome to Texas, we like tacos. But yeah, unsurprising. djdkf

God, now I want bagels and Greek food.

TBH this whole topic makes me SO hungry

if i lived somewhere in this state that had delis, it would probably be German foods. Is lux Norwegian? if so we might have some of that tbh

Lox is... well okay so there's a lot of Norwegian and Germanic equivalents but lox itself is American, and especially very Jewish

Aha, ok
