The reason the Bagel Guillotine is a very well selling practical device is obvious when you consider they many people use them for parties such as wedding breakfasts or for the hotels and motels where they work preparing for the free breakfast. Anyone can use it to slice bagels quickly without hurting him or herself. I have one because I have always been clumsy and none of us is getting younger.
Although I understand your joke, donuts were popular across the US long before the bagel. I had never heard of a bagel (in the Carolinas) until about 1980, when I spent time in New Jersey. I had to explain them to my family back home. "Concrete donuts that are not sweet" may have been the term I used.
@@chrismayer3919 Silly me. I live near a Dunkin' Donuts. The serve round sweet things called "donuts" according to their menu. The Oxford dictionary seems to think that they are the same thing as doughnuts, but what do they know?
2:35 Ca-val-ry. *Calvary* is where we nailed Jesus to a stick. Cavalry is a horse, you ride on, and probably use to go up and hit someone with a sharp metal stick. Ideally you both have one btw otherwise it's probably just murder.
When I worked at SuperSaver (a grocery store popular around Lincoln and Omaha) between 1999-2002, I would buy a $0.39 cinnamon sugar bagel and it would be a meal.
I read Laura Ingles Wilder's Little House on the Prairie book series as a boy. In one of the early books it mentions the family make donuts. They would mix the dough in a roll shape, connect the ends to make a hoop shape, and then cover it in lard grease. Next they would twist the hoops and place them in a cast iron skillet and the donuts would untwist as the lard cooked off. When it was a hoop shape again it would be removed and have either honey and/or powder sugar on top. I believe this predates the captain having them on his boat.
You should have mentioned Winchel's Donuts as well. That's the donut chain I grew up with, they gave away a comic book with a flimsy 45 record that had ghost stories on them at Halloween. That was the 80s
Bagels were still not well known in many places in the US until the 1980's. I grew up in the Carolinas and had never heard about bagels until about 1980, when I spent some time in New Jersey. I initially described them to my Mom as "concrete donuts that are not sweet", although I admitted that "tough and chewy" was more accurate than "concrete". The frozen varieties found in supermarkets lacked the chew of NJ bagels and were pretty bad, but I did not say that to my Mom who was excited that she had found some for me.
@@kenmore01 I still miss those dense, tough bagels I had in NJ. Somehow, though, I don't think this is what is meant by "you always remember your first". Then again, I am old enough now that I don't know if my teeth could handle them.
Serrated knives only for bagels ppl.... im a Bronson bagle type myself hollow out a bagel put mozzarella cheese blister it and Wow.....Strawberry icing sprinkles......
I can't stand what they've done to the modern bagel with that steaming bull crap. They taste terrible. And they try to hide it by using an egg wash to get that shiny outside that you get on a proper bagel
Bagels overtook donuts as America's most profitable circular food outside of Pizza? I could be wrong, but I'd think COOKIES would have bagels, donuts, and maybe even pizza beat.
Donuts and donut holes over bagels. My Lovely prefers bagels. Being as they are expensive and I'm a chef, I make them from scratch. Also, Krispy Kreme donuts are super overrated and not worth the price...
For those of us who grew up in the Carolinas in the 1950's or 1960's, Krispy Kreme was the definition of a donut. Like a lot of things, it depends upon what you grew up with.
Here's a nice bagel sandwich recipe for you all: Take a plain bagel and shmear with cream cheese. Then sandwich with a lower level of hard boiled eggs, followed by either some bacon or smoked salmon, and a leaf of lettuce. Make sure you have a bit of your protein choice hang out a bit like a tongue. You have now made the Blehgel from Yo-Kai Watch! Also...no mention of the Luther Burger in regards to Krispy Kreme? SHAMEFUL!!!
Most reasons why things are can be solved using logic. For example bagels are round and have holes in them not only because they cook better they are also really easy to make. You cut a piece of dough from a large ball and roll it out in a tube much like you would with a pretzel, crescent and a number of other types of breads. Shape the bread and you end up with said product. Now another thing with the boiling thing. History has told us that many people would fry stuff and even boil things so its a given that someone might have boiled them and ended up with a product that is not only good, the masses liked it.
My cousin's married name is Segal and it pronounced seagull. By the morning after the wedding at my uncle's house we had plenty of jokes about the name since it was a beach house and yes, there were plenty of bagels.
I'm team donut all the way. I do love a good bagel, though. But for me, it doesn't get much better than some donuts from a local shop with a nice cup of coffee.
Bagels for sure. You can do so many things with a bagel. Never heard of the American Dunking Association. Wouldn't want to dunk a donut anyways. I enjoy my coffee just as it is: hot and black.
Having ANOTHER Weird History drink! Drinking FOLGERS CLASSIC ROAST*†...while watching this Weird History video! Nothing like coffee and donuts! * From the Weird History videos "Reasons Why American Breakfasts Are the Way They Are," "10 Misconceptions Around Popular Foods," and "Incredible Things Coffee Does To Your Body." † In 1984 Folgers launched their slogan "The Best Part of Wakin' Up Is Folgers in Your Cup."
Oh my god you cut off the Donut Man mid-catchphrase?! "Time to make the donuts..." "...I MADE the donuts" It's like cutting off a song on the second-to-last chord! Don't leave a woman hanging like that.
As a baker for Einstein Bros., thank you for putting the people that talk 💩 about us steaming our bagels in their place. We have teenagers working at our stores; we don't need big vats of boiling water being used on a daily basis.
Obwarzanki są i polskie i żydowskie. Nie ważne kto zaczął pierwszy, wypiek z dziurką w środku by zawiesić go na sznurku to świetny pomysł i dla wojskowych i dla podróżników. Kłótnia o obwarzanki jest równie bezsensowna jak kłótnia o to, kto pierwszy wymyślił frytki. Najważniejsze że niemal każdy je uwielbia jeść. Bo jedzenie powinno łączyć ludzi.
partially true....keep in mind even today poles use multigrains and they when are used in baking bake un even.polish bakers knew it and used it....jews did not arrive in poland and slavic nations till about late 1100s few centuries after the invention of that type of baking. so jews save for those living in egypt had nothing to do with bagel invention
