Question

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