National “Have a Bagel” Day and Noodle Ring Day in USA

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, 'bagel' derives from the transliteration of the Yiddish 'beygl', which came from the Middle High German 'böugel' or ring, which itself came from 'bouc' (ring) in Old High German, similar to the Old English bēag "ring" and būgan "to bend, bow".

Since the crust is set from the boiling process, bagels don't rise as much as other bread once baked in the oven, giving bagels their dense and chewy interior. How long you boil a bagel greatly affects the crust and texture inside.

A noodle Ring is a dish of pasta, cheese, eggs cooked in a ring mold. Common fillings for the center of the ring includes creamed chicken, vegetables or other ingredients of your choice. Any kind of pasta can be used for making noodle ring.

Creating a pasta ‘nest’ with a cooked food center has been around for centuries. One of the mid-century recipes of noodle ring is from The American Women’s Cook Book, which was published in 1948.
