I don't know about in the U.S. and abroad but in Canada people nearly get abusive while defending their bagel of choice. Imagine a world without them! Bagels are such a divisive issue among Jews.

I happen to agree with you that there's a 50-50 shot for challah and bagels, but I thought this was interesting nevertheless. :-) I read a blurb in this week’s issue of Kosher Today titled “Tortillas and Pitas Lead New Generation of Kosher Bread” (www.koshertoday.com/portal/news.asp#news3).

But, we all know we have an addiction when on Passover we try and make Pesadic bagels! (I never understood this purpose-defeating phenomenon.) I agree that bagels are no longer just a Jewish thing.

How many people eat a nice toasty bagel with cream cheese or topped with their favorite item, for breakfast,lunch, dinner or a snack ? I think bagels have now become a staple of the American Diet.

I was at a Jewdriver show at 924 Gilman in Berkeley last Hanukkah, and the bagel fight when another Jewish punk band (Yidcore) played was out of this world. You can see the bagels flying at the stage here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt1v_FtIbFw&mode=related&search=. I talked to one teen who said he was "not technically" Jewish, and upon being asked what he thought about Jewish punk, he said, "I think it's a good concept. I love bagels!" Amen. Ich liebe bagels.
