What is National Bagel And Lox Day?

On February 9th, one of America's most popular bagel combinations is recognized.

Bagels are one of the few breads that are boiled then baked. This creates a soft inside while keeping a crisp outside. Bagels appeared in Poland in the early 17th century and now sell over a billion dollars in the United States each year.

The art of making lox by curing salmon in a salt brine for several months has been perfected by Scandinavians. The salmon's fatty belly gives the result in a buttery, silky texture that goes well with cream cheese and bagels.

Many varieties and varieties of bagels have emerged throughout the United States over the years. Cream cheese is a common topping on bagels.
