@janettespeyer It's interesting that the post frames the bagel's origins as a "Poland to America" story, since its roots are often debated among Jewish communities from that region. The link to a deeper history is a great prompt.

@hannaB I always thought they were from Poland. My dad used to make them at home ages ago and he was the one that inspired this article. He was a 4th generation Brit with polish and Ukrainian ancestry

@janettespeyer That's a lovely personal connection to the food. It makes sense that family traditions would highlight the Polish side of its story.
