I found a nice piece in the Morning News on bagels, their history, regional variations, and also this attempt to start an international bagel battle: The piece ends with this recipe:

So, two martians land on a secret trade exploration mission. They agree to separate and meet back at the ship in a couple of hours to compare notes.
The one martian heads into town and walks into an old-fashioned deli. The kind where salamis and bagels hang from the ceiling.
Pointing to the bagels he asks, "what are those little wheels." The deli man responds, they aren't wheels, they're bagels."
"What's bagels?" the martian asks.
"Here," says the deli guy, "try one."
The martian carefully breaks off a piece, puts it in his mouth, and chews. His eyes light up, and he gets a glow to his smiling face.
"Gimme a batch of them," he says.
"They don't come in batches," says the deli man. "They come in dozens."
"So, okay. Give me a dozens!"
The martian returns to the spaceship where his partner waits, unsuccessful in his quest. He asks the first one how he did.
Handing one to his partner the first martian explains that they're called bagels, and he should taste one.
The second martian breaks off a piece and chews it thoughtfully. Breaks off another piece, which follows the first. He stares off into the distance for a few minutes, and says:
"You know what? These would go great with lox and cream cheese!"
Ba dump bump.

Here's a bit of bagel advice: If you find yourself at a party where bagels are on the buffet, never mistake the smoked salmon cream cheese for strawberry cream cheese and try to feed it to a four year-old.
