Question

When New Yorkers order a regular coffee, they want it:

A. Black 

B. Black with sugar

C. with milk and sugar 

D. With milk, no sugar

Answer C.

With milk and sugar 

Regular coffee ordered not from a barista but "to go" from a harried waiter in a New York coffee shop, means with milk and sugar. This can be quite confusing to tourists from Chicago, where regular means black and Boston, where regular connotes, "milk, no sugar." But toss in a "poppy with shmear", (a poppy seed bagel with cream cheeses) and you've got a nice little New Your breakfast .

Wow, I never knew there was so many ways to order a regular coffee. Which is what I say when I want a black cup of coffee. 

However, a little "shmear" of cream cheese is always a good idea on any type of bagel.

Question:All of these edibles first appeared in New York .

except:

A. Chewing gum

B. Pizza slices

C. Bagels

D. Egg creams

Answer:

C. Bagels

The bagel, now so thoroughly associated with New York that most people think you can't get a good one outside the city, originated in Germany in the 14th century and made its American debut in Philadelphia. Chewing gum was invented in New York in 1870. Pizza sold by the slice is also a New York innovation. And egg creams, fugeddabout it!! These delicious concoctions of chocolate syrup, mild and seltzer began in Brooklyn around the turn of the century. 

I was fooled!! I thought for sure the Bagel came from New York.

This was an interesting history of the foods I do enjoy even living in Nevada.
