Fast American Bagels. The children adore them. Especially Karina, who loves the series "Friends". She has watched it 100 times over and all she talks about is the pretzel. I stuffed them to her liking with cream cheese and salmon. They were fantastic.
Their origin is in Eastern Europe and were brought over to America by the Jewish migrants, more specifically to New York. The bakeries used to be closed on Sundays, and only Jewish bakeries were open back then, so the traditional Jewish bread in the shape of a braid and the popular Bagel associated with our Gevrek, could only be bought there.
