Perfect time for this discovery, since they were created for Lent, and the shape comes from praying arms.

Pop it in the microwave with a wet paper towel and you can eat it.

“Monks are the symbol for the state capital Munich...”
Munich (München) actually derives from old German for “by the monks” due to a Benedictine monastery that was located there. Similarly, Münster comes from the word for “monastery”, because there was one located there as well.

Know what the best job I ever got fired from was?
Pretzel kiosk.
Afternoon shift. Just loved it, don’t know why, just did.
Could be the apron, who the hell knows?
Or maybe the feeling of power you get when there’s a crowd.
One hand rolls dough, ties those babies off.
The other hand maybe works the soda, refills the mustard. It’s quite a thing. Quite a thing.
I’ll tell you a secret.
If a pretzel is a quality pretzel, you don’t need salt. It’s just a fact.

Probably tastes the same as a 10 minute old pretzel.

250 years old isn’t “archeology.” It’s spring cleaning.

how about that.
I eat pretzels often. A snacks go, I consider them less sinful than chips and marginally ok in moderation for a type 2 diabetic

I’ve been in that bar where they found this.
I expect they’ll find a bottle with pickled pigs feet and another with ‘Chinese candy’ nearby.
Good stuff after one too many beers.
