I don't understand bagels actually. Why put a whole in a sandwich?? It's just worse ergonomics than a regular sandwich! I'm sure it's some capitalist shenanigans to trick people into thinking it's cool and containing more food than it actually does

Yes vegan-v cream cheese

Ring shaped bread predates capitalism by at least 300 years. It’s just more efficient to make in certain cases.

[-] DefinitelyNotAPhone@hexbear.net 36 points 5 months ago

Bagels are boiled before they're baked, which gives them a chewier texture that toasts really well. It's an entirely different thing to just regular toast or bread.

Montreal is a hell of a place. One of my favorite events was drinking in a park and this older lady comes up to us and says 'Ahllo, ave you seen my son? Eeh eez dis tall. Eeh ahs mo-awk. And eeh ees on PCP. Non? Ah, merci! Anarchie!'

A hole going thru the part that would be the furtherst away from the heat makes the whole thing to cook faster, allowing more production with the same capital and labor and shit, so, yeah

But it would made sense from a comunist planning perspective too, cuz it's more energy and labor efficient

[-] davel@hexbear.net 14 points 5 months ago

More quickly and more evenly: you don’t end up with an overcooked outside and undercooked center.

[-] Vncredleader@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

Making it way more efficient. Its funny how when you look into things you find human ingenuity and not just "eh capitalists probably did it for no reason".

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 35 points 5 months ago

Well you know how when you take a bite, cream cheese comes out of the sides and ruins the sandwich? The hole is there so it can escape in even more directions. i-think-that

[-] davel@hexbear.net 27 points 5 months ago

A bagel is not a sandwich and you suck at topology.

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago

it's so bagel salesmen can string them around their necks before walking to the marketplace

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago

It's a thicc bit of dough and the hole is for surface area when baking. Otherwise you'd either get a raw center or burned edges. Also they're not just bread rings, bagels are a different process which involves boiling the dough prior to baking and other stuff depending on the region (Montreal bagels>NY bagels btw). They're not really intended as sandwich material and that's a more recent use for bagels, that being said I fuckinf love a bagel sandwich.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 16 points 5 months ago

Bagels are boiled, so I assume it has something to do with that

[-] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 14 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

It makes it cook more evenly and also I think medieval bakes used to transport bread on wooden racks so bread with holes were more of a thing back then cuz you could easily stick them on the pegs. Pretzels and donuts also have holes in them. But I'm not a historian so maybe I'm talking out my ass shrug-outta-hecks

Edit: Some guy on reddit-logo has a more comprehensive explanation.

[-] fox@hexbear.net 13 points 5 months ago

More shapes more fun

[-] Mindfury@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

it's just hard donut that allows you to put a spread on it

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

I had heard they were made to put them on poles so the kids who all ran around the streets selling them could carry more. I figure a pole of bagels sticking up above the crowd would also kinda self-advertise. Might be bullshit though.

[-] Barx@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

It's fun! You good make the exact same thing as batons but why have a bread baton when you can have a CIRCLE?
