06/09/2016 12:01 AMA few weeks ago I watched a movie called Deli Man, part of an international film series. I grew up with a terrific Jewish deli in Troy, New York. It and thousands more like it are gone now, in part because Jewish immigrants insisted that their children go to college and “make something of themselves.”
After a drive home from Massachusetts recently, I planned to stop in Worcester to get some rye bread, bulkies (hard rolls), and bagels at Widoff’s Bakery on Water Street, and found it, too, closed. Hoping against hope, I drove to the Big Y nearby my home. Happily, it (and many of other Big Ys) still carry superb rye bread from the Pittsfield Rye and Specialty Breads Co.—marbled, seeded, unseeded, and dark rye (pumpernickel). I had a toasted slice with butter and placed the rest into the freezer, for another day.
