You may be right. I asked at three other bagel places yesterday and today. The answer to "Do you have any vegan bagels?" is invariably "No". Sometimes it's, "No, we have regular bagels". At first, I thought this was some sort of anti-vegan hostility, but I'm starting to think it's an artifact of separating sales from production, as well as a misunderstanding of the meaning of "vegan". In other words, you have regular bagels, which are made with flour, salt, sugar, and yeast; and vegan bagels, which are made with vegan flour, vegan salt, etc., and then blessed by a vegan priest who sprinkles vegan dust over them. But having had the experience of ordering vegan food and receiving non-vegan food, I feel a little uncomfortable ordering something that has been authoritatively declared "not vegan", especially since many bagel recipes contain eggs and honey.
