Bagels are a staple in the breakfast food industry. Nothing says breakfast like biting into a bagel — whether you like it sweet or savory.
With Polish origins dating back to the 1300s, the bagel became an American household breakfast essential in the 1950s when supermarkets began selling them.
Since then, they have become a versatile vessel for different spreads and toppings, even becoming an entire handheld breakfast.
National Bagel Day is celebrated on Jan. 15 in honor of this tasty breakfast champion. Here are some Greater New Bedford places slicing up these carb-filled delights:
