The bagel, both the humblest and mightiest of all bread forms, is, unsurprisingly, of Yiddish origins. The word that names it comes from that language's word beygl. It is widely speculated (at least by those who do such speculation) that the Yiddish word is descended from the Middle High German word böugel, which is from another German word for ring or bracelet.

They used to send calendars with the order, which were always a great source of hilarity to us, because they showed all these smiling models who you just knew had never eaten a bagel in their entire lives... 😂 12mo
