Here's me posing at the ULTIMATE SANDWICH LOCATION earlier this year. Can any of you readers beat this?

I can - I've just negotiated a Finglesham deal.

Towers of sarnies just slapped straight on the shelf there. Probably nothing wrong with that if it's cleaned properly...I suppose? Still making me nervous.

I couldn't. Just thinking of the hands that might have touched them, and surely they'd be horribly dried out within a few hours anyway?

Salt beef *swoon*.  I go down to a cafe in Westcliff to get it with latkes and greens.  Sadly, last time I looked it was marked as closed on Google, I'm hoping it's just for November not for life.

Not too difficult to make yourself, you know. The difficult bit is getting hold of potassium nitrate, which is both a fertiliser and ingredient in explosives. So don't order loads is my advice.

You can buy it from butchers suppliers. Its usually called "Prague mix #1". Use very small amounts for curing, usually 0.5gram per kilo. Source: made fancy sausages for a coupe of years.

I had an excellent salt beef bagel from Beigel Bake on Brick Lane, probably the best thing on those lines I've eaten outside NYC.

I made some salt beef a few years ago and ordered my prague powder from here https://www.smokedust.co.uk/

I notice it has faded to pretty much white now, but given it's mostly salt and stuff, I doubt it matters all that much.

There used to be a gem of a stall on Exmouth market. An old Jewish guy and his wife did yummy salt beef on Rye sammiches for a fiver. Mustard and gherkin but hold the sauerkraut. Lovely.

Even the ones from Bagel Mania are good and I assume those are basically shit-tier compared to a proper traditional place.

Fr.Bigley

On another note, Is Bagel Nash a national chain or just a Leeds ting? Genuinely cant remember seeing one anywhere else.

Edit: It's just a Northern thing, apologies.

Also potential controversy re: roll vs. bap markup, depending on your definition of either.

Oooh yes those are nice.  I think Westcliff just edges it, something about eating salt beef while gazing out over the sea, it's perfect.  As I remember, they used to get their bagels / beigels from the Shalom bakery:

https://www.shalomhotbeigels.com/

That place has it all – greens, chopped liver, Blooms Viennas  ... *drool*

I'm struggling to find anywhere anywhere near me (in SE London) that sells decent bagels. with or without salt beef.

Jews in North London; Koreans in South London.

I don't make the rules, but those are they.

Dunno how regal this place actually is, but it's in Camberwell: http://www.bagelking247.co.uk/ And I had a decent bagel and lox from Borough Market this year (sort of SE).

It can't be more disappointing than my one experience at THE HAPPENING BAGEL BAKERY in Finsbury Park, anyway.

But you've got Sunrise Bakery and all that lovely firm delicious hard dough bread.

Going back to Beigel Bake, I'd really recommend their challah, which has fennel seeds in it

I used to love this stuff, but then it became hard to find a pot that wasn't full of this horrible gritty ground up fish bone residue. And it fucking honks.
