The holey pretzel

My kids are crazy for pretzels. I mostly buy hard pretzel sticks, but they will eat them in any form - hard or soft, stick, waffle, or traditional style. One story explaining the pretzel shape is that it represents arms folded in prayer and the holes represent the holy trinity. I guess that eating pretzels can be quite a spiritual experience! Do you eat pretzels - what is your favorite kind?

I love the big soft salted pretzels dipped in mustard. And now I'll always think I'm in pretzel heaven as I admire their folded shapes and open spaces.

Hard salt pretzels are my favorite. They are crispy and taste like one kind of snack that my mom made in my childhood.

I couldn't pass this by. Had to see what it was and hey, it's a pretzel. We don't have pretzels in France but I know them. Can't honestly say I like them. Too salty yet taste of nothing but the glaze they put on. Don't all shoot me!
