The Bagel: past, present and future

11th December 2018 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

£3 - £6

 

If smoked salmon and cream cheese bring but one thing to mind, then you are part of a long and fascinating edible history that has brought the roll with a hole from 17th century Poland to the freezers of the modern Anglo-American home. The talk will give a cultural but light-hearted overview of this modest ring-shaped bread that has gained a place in history.
