It’s National Have A Bagel Day
Is there anything better than biting into the doughy deliciousness of a freshly baked bagel? It’s like a little round piece of heaven! If you love a good bagel, National Have A Bagel Day is your day.
Bagels have a long history that starts with the Jewish families of Poland in the 1600s. And surprisingly, today’s bagels are largely unchanged (except, perhaps, the name.) A bagel is a beigel is a beygal!
Bagels made the jump to America in the 1800s with a massive Polish-Jewish immigration to New York City. In fact, an entire union was created in the early 1900s called Bagel Bakers Local 338 to support the growing, immigrant-led industry. That also led to the “bagel brunch” we still enjoy today – lox, cream cheese, capers, tomatoes, and red onions. Yum!
Whether you prefer them with cream cheese, butter, or anything else, be sure to have a bagel today!
