Bagels have holes in them because donuts have holes in them...and why do donuts have holes in them......the legend is:
Way back when there was the ship captain who just love to eat has pastries(baked dough with nuts) while at the helm of his ship. Now from time to time he'd need both hands on the wheel, so he had to put his donut somewhere. His spot was on the spoke of the wheel. After a couple times, he simply asked the chief to make them with holes so he could just put them there to start with.....
