National Bagel Day National Bagel Day is devoted to bagels, and bakeries and stores that offer them discounted or free bagels on this day! It is unknown exactly how bagels got their start. One story says they were invented in Krakow, Poland, where they appeared in the city's community regulations in 1610. This account says they were given as gifts to women in childbirth. Bagels are yeast buns made of light or dark flour, with a hole in their middle. They are boiled—although many are now steamed—and then baked, which gives them their taste and characteristics; they are crispy and shiny on the outside, and chewy on the inside. They are dense and heavy, which has earned them the nickname "cement doughnuts." Two of most popular varieties of bagels are the Montreal and New York styles. The Montreal has malt and , but no salt; it is boiled in honey-sweetened water, and is always baked in a wood-fired oven. The New York has salt and malt, and is boiled in water before being baked in a standard oven. It isn't as sweet as the Montreal, and it has a smaller hole. Plain bagels are the most popular type of bagel, followed by sesame bagels. Other popular types have onion flakes, poppy seeds, or fruit such as blueberries or raisins. Celebrate the day by eating a bagel...or a few bagels. Head out to a bakery or a coffee shop to pick some up. Eat them with cream cheese, or get creative with toppings. Use bagels to make a sandwich, or to make mini pizzas—There are endless possibilities to the types of bagels you could eat and what you could put on them, so there is no shortage of ways to celebrate the day. |

For the New York bagel... that's kosher salt... not just any kind of salt.

Not being from New York or Montreal, I never developed a taste fro bagels, and they are quite rare out west. I think McD's has a breakfast bagel, but I have never seen one being ordered.

I put smoked salmon on crackers or just eat it with my fingers. I don't care much for bagels though.
