Bagel
We didn't buy breakfast this weeked, and somehow there were no donuts with the coffee downstairs today. So I bought breakfast on the way to work.
I went to "Brooklyn Bagels". The smell and atmosphere there reminded me of our first summer in the U.S., in the resort in Tannersville, NY.
A bagel is a typical American thing; it's a circle shaped bread bun, thick, and more chewey than regular (European) bread. You can eat them as-is, but they are often toasted. There's a huge variety of flavours: this morning I had a regular bagel, but there are also bagels with cinnamon, poppy seed, onion or salt, or for people who can't choose: "everything".
I had egg salad on my bagel -- not a very smart choice when it comes to eating decently in the office.

You're right to be careful with those poppy seeds! http://www.snopes.com/toxins/poppy.htm
More important, for those in the Verre Staten feeling homesick, trying to hide that by writing about bagles: 1.5 kilograms of chocolate sprinkles for as little as US$ 16.50 available at http://www.hollandbymail.com/venz/
And, of course, if you really like the bagles, let that be no reason to stay abroad. Remember http://www.bagelbar.nl/ in the Schagchelstraat, Haarlem, the Netherlands, Europe...

Bagels are no reason for me to come over. I never liked them.
