I like bagels. I know they are Jewish food, but never the less, I like bagels.
Despite what you might have been taught, jews didn't invent bagels, even though they like to think they did. They just like them, as I do also. Leavened bread was thought to have started around 6000BC and I'm sure from then until the 17th century where jews supposedly created bagels someone made it in a circle/ring. For instance, "The earliest known mention of a boiled-then-baked ring-shaped bread can be found in a 13th-century Arabic cookbook, where they are referred to as ka'ak."
I prefer sourdough buttered up and toasted under the broiler, then add some jelly and cover with BACON for the win.
