We had a Bruegers Bagels here in Youngstown a few years ago and I went nuts over the place. I was a little apprehensive about the items questioned above but I dove into everything else with mouth wide open. Can't wait to get to TV and explore these delicacies again. Lox, huh? I'm definitely on my way!
Won't butt into your conversation any more. Just watch, listen and learn....... I should have been born in NYC!!!

LOL!! Yes, lox is salmon. Lox is salmon fillet that has been cured. In its most popular form, it is thinly sliced and, typically (in North America), served on a bagel, often with cream cheese, onion, tomato, cucumber and capers. Lox in small pieces is also often added and cooked into scrambled eggs, sometimes with chopped onion. The food and its name were introduced to the United States through Scandinavian immigrants, though it was popularized by Jewish immigrants.The term lox derives from Lachs in German and in Yiddish,meaning "salmon".
By the way, I never had a fried bologna sandwich until I moved to Ohio from NY.
