Dear Bon Appétit,
I am writing you today to express a deep disappointment at your lack of cultural sensitivity. Every Sunday, the day after Shabbat, suburban Jews all across the Northeast sit down to a bountiful smorgasbord of bagels and schmear, schmoozing with family and wiping schmutz from our faces. As you probably know, college is a difficult transition for all of us, and it’s made harder when we are unable to practice our cultural traditions. Therefore, Bon Appétit, I sincerely hope that you will respect my heritage and not run out of bagels on Sunday brunches; I would hate to kvetch and call you culturally insensitive, but I will if you don’t stock up on bagels.
