I don’t imagine any bagel is as good as NY bagels, but I will give it a try! LOL And I’ve heard that about British food. I am looking forward to trying (almost) anything! LOL And I am so looking forward to exploring Europe. I never really thought of travelling overseas — I really enjoy traveling in the US, I’ve almost seen the entire country. But since I’m going to be there, I am going to take full advantage of the opportunity to travel!

normally the sell bagels at the commissary. I just have to warn you that the British food is as horrible as they say. I have been a few times there and I just cant imagine what they do to the food that it looks so grey and tasteless after cooking.

But GB is a good place to explore Europe. Specially Ryan Air has great specials to other european cities.

Well darn! We are going to be at Menwith Hill. I will keep that store in mind during our travels!

So, are you a NY girl? I’m from LI and always miss the food from home!

If you’re going to be stationed at one of the bases in the Cambridgeshire area (Alconbury/Lakenheath/Mildenhall), you’re in luck with regard to bagels. There’s a little deli/grocery store called Derby (pronounced “darby”) Stores which has fresh bagels brought in from London every Thursday. It’s located at 26A Derby Street in Cambridge. It’s about a 25-minute drive from Alconbury and about 30-40 minutes from Lakenheath and Mildenhall. I think the only other option in the area is frozen Lender’s from the commissary, and for this NYC bagel snob, that’s not a real option! I’d rather go without than eat Lender’s.

In London, try Beigel Bake on Brick Lane – it’s the one with the white sign, plus there’s also another bagel place right next to it with a yellow sign. The name escapes me at the moment. Daniel’s on Finchley Road is another option.

None of them are as good as a real NY bagel – or a Boston or Montreal bagel, for that matter – but they’ll definitely satisfy your cravings without having to resort to the frozen kind.

Good luck, and enjoy your time in the UK!

Problem is, even when they put a list together it will be already outdated till they decide to publish it. And probably used for the next 20 years.

More than well said! It is wrong that so many families – military or otherwise – live below the poverty level. I hope something can be done to improve this.
