omgpretzels
Pretzels are not just delicious and versatile, but they're also timeless. When Catholic monks created the first pretzels from leftover dough it was serendipity in its purest form. The unique knot shape represented the Holy Trinity and pretzels had a significance far beyond being just a snack. For example, during the 17th Century pretzels symbolized the bond of marriage. Couples broke the pretzel like a wishbone, made a wish, and then ate it to symbolize their unity.
