Answer 1

Bagel-making used to be a guarded secret

Sometimes referred to as the cement doughnut, the bagel has long been a staple in New York delicatessens and a favorite of the Jewish community. Once relegated as a bland breakfast food given flavor by the addition of lox and cream cheese, there are now more bagel flavors than you can shake a stick at. The bagel has also risen in up the culinary ladder to become a popular base for sandwiches.

What makes it a bagel?
From a purist standpoint, a bagel is a round yeast roll with a hole in the middle, no egg in the dough, malt rather than sugar, cooked in water, and then browned in the oven. This process produces a dense, chewy roll with a crisp exterior, hence giving rise to the term cement doughtnut. Of course, nowadays, bagels have evolved to include not only egg, for a bit lighter roll, but also spices and herbs to give added flavor. A common misconception is that water bagels are any bagel cooked in water. Of course, all bagels by definition are cooked in water and then browned in the oven. To the purist, water bagels are bagels made with water in the dough, specifically with no egg or flavoring additions.

Donut Recipes
Is it doughnuts or donuts? Call them what you will, these little gems of hot dough, sprinkled with confections and fried to a golden brown are a breakfast staple in homes and offices all over the planet. So, just where did these little nuts of dough originate?

As with many of our most beloved treats, the donut originated in Europe and came to America via European immigrants in the 1800s. Originally, the Dutch called it the "olykoek," which turned out to be a simple delight Dutch immigrants created by frying leftover bits of bread dough in hot oil. The origin of the name is more difficult to determine, though. Some people think the Dutch twisted their dough into knots before they fried it, and these turned into "dough knots," and then the term we know and love today. Others aren't so sure, and think it had to do with pressing nuts into the center of the rounds, hence "dough nuts." Wherever the name originates, there's no controversy around the popularity of these sweet treats, and the good news is, they really aren't that difficult to whip up in the home kitchen!

A corn dog is a hot dog-type sandwich coated in cornbread batter and deep fried in hot oil, although some are baked. Almost all corn dogs are served on wooden sticks, although the original corn dog was not.

A pretzel is a baked snack that is twisted into a unique knot-like shape, which according to some people is meant to resemble two hands folded for prayer. The pretzel dough is made from wheat flour and yeast. Prior to baking, it is dipped into either "Natronlauge" which is German for lye (sodiumhydroxide solution (NaOH)) or sodiumcarbonate solution (NaCO3) and sprinkled with coarse salt. During baking, a Maillard reaction then gives the pretzel its characteristic brown color and distinctive flavor. In Bavaria it is obligatory in a Weißwurst breakfast. It is also sold in straight pretzel sticks.

Answer 2

The difference between bagels and doughnuts is that doughnuts have frosting or whatever. I have no idea wth a strudel is.
Corndogs have those stick things poking out of them and hotdogs don't.
Chinese food is food that is chinese.
Tex-mex is mexican food. (i think)
Asian food in america is gross. it's not even asian food.
Pretzels are these twisty things that are salted.
