      Although I understand your joke, donuts were popular across the US long before the bagel. I had never heard of a bagel (in the Carolinas) until about 1980, when I spent time in New Jersey. I had to explain them to my family back home. "Concrete donuts that are not sweet" may have been the term I used.

    I read Laura Ingles Wilder's Little House on the Prairie book series as a boy. In one of the early books it mentions the family make donuts. They would mix the dough in a roll shape, connect the ends to make a hoop shape, and then cover it in lard grease. Next they would twist the hoops and place them in a cast iron skillet and the donuts would untwist as the lard cooked off. When it was a hoop shape again it would be removed and have either honey and/or powder sugar on top. I believe this predates the captain having them on his boat.

    Bagels were still not well known in many places in the US until the 1980's. I grew up in the Carolinas and had never heard about bagels until about 1980, when I spent some time in New Jersey. I initially described them to my Mom as "concrete donuts that are not sweet", although I admitted that "tough and chewy" was more accurate than "concrete". The frozen varieties found in supermarkets lacked the chew of NJ bagels and were pretty bad, but I did not say that to my Mom who was excited that she had found some for me.

    Most reasons why things are can be solved using logic. For example bagels are round and have holes in them not only because they cook better they are also really easy to make. You cut a piece of dough from a large ball and roll it out in a tube much like you would with a pretzel, crescent and a number of other types of breads. Shape the bread and you end up with said product. Now another thing with the boiling thing. History has told us that many people would fry stuff and even boil things so its a given that someone might have boiled them and ended up with a product that is not only good, the masses liked it.
