National Bagel Day arrives on January 15 and as we are all imperfect circles harboring unfillable emotional holes there is perhaps no greater metaphor for the human condition than the humble bagel.the origin of the bagel is hard to pinpoint as round bread has a place in many cultures. But, the first written record of the bagel dates to Krakow, Poland in the year of our yeast 1610.
Community regulations decreed that bagels were to be gifted to women after childbirth because let’s face it, bread beats a robe and an episiotimy scar any day, folks.

Bagel lovers of every sign can make their ardor known with an everything bagel coin purse from Betsey Johnson.In addition to bringing babies forth, the shape of the humble bagel led some Medieval consumers to believe they contained magical powers, a credence shared by me and anyone else who has ever eaten a bagel breakfast sandwich while nursing a violent whiskey hangover.
Americans owe their love of the hallowed bagel to Jewish immigrants who brought the bread to the continent at the turn of the twentieth century. This community went on to form the famed Bagel Bakers Local 338, a trade union that established production standards and fair wages for the workmen that boiled, hand crafted and faithfully baked bagels in New York City. 338 controlled the bagel market for decades until the advent, and some would argue assault of, machine made bagels in the 1960’s.
