 Listening to nostr:npub1ds32gvkadw6ummnwyvmffq9t6knjllznfzcx6uy6ujl0kx6gk6zsqz4msx talking about the history of bagels (based in Polish anti-semitism, I did not know) on my favorite trivia podcast while all the other UK-based hosts are politely like "Lox is what...?" and just being reminded again at how much some of the "traditional" foods for me are unusual/unknown even among... people who know things for a living.
