Here’s some history behind one of America’s favorite breakfast foods!

Note: There are also different myths/stories of how bagels came to be which are pretty interesting to read too!

Sources: The Book of Jewish Food: An Odyssey from Samarkand to New York. The Bagel: the Surprising History

of a Modest Bread.

Dani Ishai Behan

Jewish Pride Always

The Church: (Bans Jewish people from baking bread with the bullshit bigoted claim that baked bread is “Too good” for Jewish people)

Jewish People: (Create the single best bread-based food ever that is better than the bread the church wouldn’t let them bake in every way)

I would very much have liked to listen in on the debate as to whether or not it is permissible to give bagels to women giving birth. Something like that doesn’t get put in a statute unless there were disagreeableness about it.

Bagels exist, unremarked on, like directions to Punt, for more than 300 years. Then someone writes down “BTW, its legal to give these to women havin’ kids.”?

Much like the “Do not take orally” warning on Preparation H, there’s gotta be a story there.
