I People 1nade bread in the shape of bagels in many different cultures. 2 Bagels were first made in Austria. 3 They were made by Jewish bakers. 4 Bagels '>vere first made in New York in the Brooklyn area. 5 They beca1ne popular all over America in the 1960s. 6 New inventions \vere used to sell bagels across An1erica. 7 One of the reasons bagels are popular is because they stay fresh for a long time. A Short History of the Bagel The bagel is known around the world as a typically New York type of food. But it has a surprising and unusual history that goes back many years. The basic idea of a bread roll with a hole is centuries old. In Roman times, soldiers ate hard bread called buccellatum, and in China there is similar-shaped traditional bread called girde. The ancient Egyptians ate a bagel-like snack, too, and there are even more examples from around the Mediterranean area. But it was in Poland that today's bagel really began. According to legend, it was the product of the 1683 Battle of Vienna. The Polish king, Jan Sobieski, had saved Austria from the Turkish invaders. To celebrate, the Jewish bakers of Krakow made a roll in the shape of the king's stirrup - the metal objects you put your feet in when you ride a horse - and called it a 'buegel' (from the German word for stirrup). There is, however, no evidence to show whether this was true or not, but the story still remains today. It is unclear when the first bagels made their way to the United States, but by 1900, 70 bakeries which sold bagels existed on the Lower East Side district of New York. What is also certain is that immigrants from Eastern Europe, with their cravings for the foods of the old country, sparked the New York bagel craze. It was the 1950s that were the real turning point. As Jewish people began to move to other parts of New York, they started to share their traditional food with the rest of the city. Bagels were mentioned in a popular cookbook of the time, and demand started to grow across America. To meet this demand, a baker called Murray Lender began to use recent inventions like the freezer and plastic packaging to distribute freshly-made bagels across America. Soon, Lender's bagels were available in almost every supermarket, and today they are part of a traditional American diet and available all over the world. But why has the bagel endured through all this time? Possibly because of its heroic legend, but also because it has the advantage of lasting longer than freshly-baked bread. If it gets slightly stale, it can be dunked in hot liquid to soften it. So it lasts long, can be eaten in many ways, and of course tastes delicious. b Underline five v.rords or phrases you don't kno'>v. Use your dictionary to look up their meaning and pronunciation. I
