The one to order

The hot salt beef beigel with English mustard

The line to expect: A queue at the weekend and after closing time at the pubs, but it moves in minutes. Open 24 hours.

Brick Lane's 24-hour bakery: the salt beef is carved in thick slabs at the counter and the beigels come out of the oven all night.

Hot salt beef beigel with English mustard

Hot salt beef beigel with English mustard

5 to 7 days curing, 3 1/2 hr simmering · A 1.5 kg brisket, 10 to 12 beigels. London's salt beef is brisket cured in brine and simmered until it shreds at the edges, then sliced thick into a chewy beigel with hot English mustard. Nothing else.
