The story of the origin of bagels

Begonia originated in Central Europe. According to a data from Krakow 16 10, local people will give beygls as a gift to women when they give birth. This may be the earliest written record of bagels. However, it is not completely certain that beygls is today's bagels. Others believe that the traditional Hungarian dessert beigli is the true ancestor of bagels.

Another widely circulated story says that in Vienna, Austria, in 1683, a Jewish baker made bagels and presented them to Polish king Jan III Sobieski to commemorate the Polish king's victory over the Turks that year. Legend has it that the baker made bread in the shape of stirrups to commemorate the key role played by cavalry in this victory. In fact, the traditional handmade bagel is not a standard circle, but a stirrup shape. However, this may also be because the bagel is squeezed on the baking tray after it is made, resulting in deformation.

After all, these are just legends, and the more common view is that the word bagel comes from the Yiddish word beugal(bügel), which means bagel.

In Brick Lane, London, the local bakery has been selling bagels since the middle of the19th century, and the locals call bagels beigel.
