Dubious history?

[edit]

The history section currently has:

"New York-style bagels are the original bagel available in the United States. Although various cities spanning the globe have their own distinct style of cooking and serving bagels, the concept of the bagel originated on the Lower East Side, in Manhattan, New York. The bagel was created as a filling, tasty, inexpensive treat for Jewish immigrants living in Manhattan in the 1800s. The bagel quickly spread around New York City, across the United States, and was soon adapted in various forms across the world. The idea of a bagel in its modern-day form is native to New York City, particularly the Jewish community there."

The bolded sections seem dubious to me - other pages (such as Bagel) indicate that that bagels originated in Poland, and also the citation for the paragraph doesn't support this claim (in fact it directly contradicts it). Possibly this section should be updated to specifically discuss the origins of the New York bagel, rather than making unfounded claims about general bagel history. 82.44.61.248 (talk) 16:49, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
