Perlman's Bagel Factory
In the early fifties, the father of one of my best friends, in Newark, New Jersey, owned a bagel factory -- no, it wasn't called a bagel bakery, for unexplainable reasons. Since they usually had a shiny hard crust, they tended to be incredibly hot and rather dangerous, but amazingly good if buttered as soon as they could be handled without severe burns.
Nevertheless, I have to consider the proliferation of bagel styles as far more a violation of American traditional values than things in current political discourse.
If one does not ask for an "American bagel" in Israel, one will get a different Eastern European roll called a bialy. The fact that American bagels are not assimilated there tends to reject one of the theories about the Israeli nuclear program: nuclear weapons would be needed to crack stale bagels.
