Squid Ink Bagels

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'The Txikito Bialy' Sandwich at Black Seed Bagels Boasts an All-Black Bun

— June 4, 2019 — Lifestyle
Some gourmet restaurants often have squid ink risotto or squid ink pasta on the menu and Black Seed bagels is now offering an all-black sandwich made with a squid ink bagel. 'The Txikito Bialy' sandwich draws inspiration from Argentinian, Spanish and New York City cuisines, and offers an intriguing combination of a whipped spring pea spread and sweet red onion toppings. As well as being rich in textures, the bagel sandwich also offers plenty of interest as the colorful contents of the sandwich contrast against the dark squid ink bagels.

This new Black Seed bagels menu item was created as part of a collaboration between executive chef Dianna Daoheung and chef Alex Raji of Txikito, La Vara and Saint Julivert.
