Bretzel

by jennine on September 2, 2008


bretzelStateside, we call them pretzels… But in Germany, they are yummy crunchy on the outside, chewy in the middle bretzels. I love both the way they look and the way they taste, maybe as much as I love a good French baguette. Hmm… thank god, carbophobia is so 2005.

Here I am folded up on the stairs trying to fit in the frame… I feel like a bretzel. Mixing crunchy masculine and chewy feminine elements… a mini dress with a blazer, rolled up jeans and a scarf tied up kind of like a bretzel.

ah yes, in the US you eat them like snacks – with sweet toppings and such. Never have eaten any of those, but the originals are the better anyway in my humble opinion. Try them with fresh butter (much of it! I love butter). Very classic!!!

Yes, yummy indeed. I visited Germany years ago and discovered their food to taste surprizingly good! I bet this Bretzels will be the same. Interesting, looking at the picture they look more like a cake to me than a pretzel, but maybe that’s just me.

Those pretzels are the best – visited Germany a few years ago and that was practically all I ate. So good! Too bad I haven’t found anywhere in London that makes them just like that, the closest I’ve gotten is AMT coffee.

Love your outfit too.

Laugen bröchen, laugen bretzel, man, this is one of the foods I miss most on this side of the pond. Every once in a while I find a good one, but most are nothing (NOTHING!) like good German Laugen! Laugen bröchen, egg, tomato and a minimal smear of good mustard was my breakfast for months in Gießen. You make me hungry!
