Talking About Authentic Bagels
Bagels

"Remember eating a bagel?"

That's how this story starts.  But it takes a surprising turn when you realize that this is the story of how the authentic bagel, the one we remember from our childhood, has vanished.  Or has it?

Enjoy the NPR audio recording from 1997 of Daniel Pinkwater.  It's only 3 minutes long and very amusing.
