[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We always had the cold beet borscht with sour cream growing up. It was my grandmothers specialty. I always assumed it was a Jewish food, but sounds like it isn't. [/quote]

It’s Ukrainian/Russian. Many of the foods that we typically think of as Jewish in the US are actually Russian or Ukrainian- not just borscht but also lox, pickled herring, bagels, kasha (buckwheat). It’s because most of the Jewish immigrants to the US in the late 19th-early 20th century were from Russia or present Ukraine. Russian people wouldn’t consider that food Jewish. [/quote]
Bagels are not traditional Russian/Ukrainian food, neither is lox.  [/quote]

You can maybe argue about lox, but bagels are definitely traditional Russian (called “bubliki”). [/quote]
I know what bublik is, question is what was first - bublik or bagel? 
According to most sources - Jews brought bagels into Ukrane/Russia from Europe that was later adopted and became bublik.
