I struggle to come up with a reply to the comment you are replying to, because eating is such a subjective experience and hard to describe.
But I think that quality of an out-of-region bagel is also something I find in regular bread out here.
Also I infer from what is stocked on shelves and what I see friends and acquaintances buying that people here have much higher tolerance for stale bread.
Like the commenter above I was not seeking out these experiences, but felt like they kind of smacked me in the face when I got here. It used to be I could shop for bread without thinking. Now I need to be careful and sometimes shopping in the "wrong" place means I have to deal with worse options.
