Question

Examples of these items in St. Louis are often unconventionally divided into eight pieces. (-5[1])The Lender family of New Haven, Connecticut popularized the (-5[1])frozen variety of these items by making March National Frozen Foods Month. (-5[1])It’s not a croissant, but a popular legend claims that these items were first sold to commemorate Jan Sobieski’s (15[1])(“YAHN soe-BYEH-skee’s”) defense of (*) Vienna against the Turks. (10[2]-5[1])One version of these items is produced by the rival shops St-Viateur (“SAHN vee-AH-toor”) and Fairmount and is distinguished from other kinds by using honeyed water. Both obwarzanki (“oeb-vah-ZHAHN-kyee”) and bubliks are closely related to this foodstuff. Montreal names a popular version of this (10[1])foodstuff with Eastern European origins. For 10 points, name these round breads common in Jewish delis that come in poppyseed and everything flavors. (10[1])■END■ (10[2])
