==History==<br />
'''Bagels''' are a type of [[yeast]]-risen roll originating in [[Europe]]. They are most closely associated with [[European Jewish]] cuisine. There are many stories regarding the origin of bagels, but they probably originated in the late 17th century in [[Poland]] or [[Austria]], and spread to other parts of Eastern Europe. As [[Ashkenazi Jews]] immigrated to the [[U.S.]], they brought many food items with them, including the bagel. It has since become a very popular American food item.<br />
<br />
==Definition==<br />
A bagel is always round, with a hole in the middle. The dough is risen, then boiled, then baked, giving its unique texture. In [[New York]], bagel stores were originally strictly unionized, and a bagel was very specifically defined as to weight and content. Since that time, the definition of bagel has [[liberal]]ized significantly.<br />
There are large regional differences in American bagels, despite the [[proliferation]] of chain stores.<br />
<br />
==Uses==<br />
In the U.S., the bagel is most typically a breakfast food, but is eaten at any time of day. It is classically served with [[cream cheese]], and various types of smoked [[fish]] are often added.<br />
Common types of bagel include:<br />
*Plain<br />
*[[Poppyseed]]<br />
*[[Sesame Seed]]<br />
*[[Salt]]<br />
*[[Raisin]]<br />
*Hearty tomato<br />
*Salmon<br />
*Banana nut<br />
*English Breakfast<br />
*Chocolate Walnut<br />
*Jalapeno cheese<br />
*Fried chicken<br />
