The first printed mention of bagels...is to be found in the Community Regulations of Kracow, Poland, for the year 1610 which stated that bagels would be given as a gift to any woman in childbirth - The Joys of Yiddish by Leo RostenWe were invited to an absolutely delightful brunch last Sunday. The group was made up, in large
part, people who really care about food. Some fellow members of the Slow Food Board and Professional Cooks among them. The offerings included home cured meats, fresh bi-valves, yeast waffles and other tasty goods. A carefully concocted variety of “Marys” and some ales to wash things down.By request, I brought bagels. Despite being usually reserved for our Sunday brunch, small amounts have been doled out over time – enough to gain a bit of a reputation for being yummy.
