Publisher Description

This charming book recounts the remarkable journey of the bagel from the tables of 17th-century Poland to the freezers of middle America today. The story is one of surprising connections between an unassuming ring-shaped roll and centuries of Polish, Jewish, and American history.

"A fun read for any bagel-lover. Interesting to learn how the bagel relates to significant European historical events (such as WWI and WWII), as well as how the bagel became an all-American food."

    " I usually love "histories of the everyday". (Salt: A World History is my favorite) This one, however, never engaged me. I wish I could put my finger on what I did't like, but I can't. It should have been fascinating, given the bagel's development amongst Eastern European Jewry. "
