520 1  "If smoked salmon and cream cheese bring only one thing to
       mind, you can count yourself among the world's millions of
       bagel mavens. But few people are aware of the bagel's 
       provenance, let alone its adventuresome history. This 
       charming book tells the remarkable story of the bagel's 
       journey from the tables of seventeenth-century Poland to 
       the freezers of middle America today, a story of often 
       surprising connections between a cheap market-day snack 
       and centuries of Polish, Jewish, and American history." 
       "Research in international archives and numerous personal 
       interviews uncover the bagel's links with the defeat of 
       the Turks by Polish King Jan Sobieski in 1683, the Yiddish
       cultural revival of the late nineteenth century, and 
       Jewish migration across the Atlantic to America. There the
       story moves from the bakeries of New York's Lower East 
       Side to the Bagel Bakers' Local 388 Union of the 1960s, 
       and the attentions of the mob. For all its modest size, 
       the bagel has managed to bridge cultural gaps, rescue 
       kings from obscurity, charge the emotions, and challenge 
       received wisdom. Maria Balinska weaves together a rich, 
       quirky, and evocative history of East European Jewry and 
       the unassuming ring-shaped roll the world has taken to its
       heart."--Jacket.
