So would "dwarvish bread" if they happened to read Terry Pratchett as it was priced more fore it's ability to decapitate a foe at 50 paces rather than it's culinary properties
Very interesting! It's surprising how much history there is to basic foodstuffs. When you mentioned pineapples and their abilities, I had a flashback to one of Tom Scott's oldest videos when he tried to remove his fingerprints (iirc - it was a long time ago!) using pineapple. I do remember it made me wince lol.
Hard pretzels are the most basic of basic salty snacks, along with plain potato chips. Something you mindlessly pop into your mouth, one after another, at a party or bar. Soft pretzels are a decadent treat that you savor every bite. Unfortunately, I'm diabetic, and both varieties are carbohydrate bombs that I rarely allow myself to enjoy.
The B->P sound shift is a very common linguistic change. So probably changed before coming to English, possibly in one of the German dialects. (Like the T->glottal-stop that some of your commenters complained about.)
Just had a soft pretzel for breakfast. So looked for a video to watch to enhance the experience. This was a great video - funny and informative. I will be subscribing!
Love from Mexico🇲🇽🙋♂️. Tacos de canasta also known as "taco sudado" are eaten differently depending on the state in which you are. My favorite is chicharrón (pig meat)
My parents would never let us have tacos de canasta from anyone she didn’t have a personal relationship with. Cleanliness and quality was always important. If my mom knew they kept a clean house and grooming, she would buy from them. Makes sense. But she would also say that some canasteros would be known to use dog or horse or other sub-prime meat. Anyone else hear about this?
Was told by a tour guide in Munich a few years ago that Brezen came about after a Bavarian king (can't remember which one) was sentencing a baker after he committed a crime. The baker was offered his freedom, if he could bake a bread that the sun could shine through three times 🥨
There is so much more to a real pretzel than Auntie Anne's... and nothing comes even close to a pretzel from Bavaria, in taste and variety. From plain with different types of salt or even pepper to the many options of slicing them in half and putting tasty stuff on it like "butter and chives" or "Obazda" to using pretzel dough to make Schnitzel, or Dumplings.
Can you make unleavened pretzels? The Last Supper was on Passover, so while you can make something the religion would call "matzah" that is nothing like the cracker-like things we call "matzah" today, but bread at the Last Supper had to be something made too quickly to rise. (In less than 18 min or so from mixing water and flowed until the end of baking.)
You're welcome. sincerely, a german (who only recently realized how good and varied Pretzels can be. My favorite is a simple warm one with herb butter and chives...nice Weizenbier to go along...and I HATE BAVARIA...but this is a great export and again... You're welcome ;)
Very US centric as usual, but interesting! Living in South Germany, Brezeln are a big staple here, not the hard veriety (though those exist too) but the soft ones, particularly for breakfast. Every single one of the many many bakeries in any town with have a heap of soft Brezeln for the morning crowds. Kids take them to school for recess. Workers buy them for lunch break. Or just when you're feeling peckish at any time of day. Eating a Brezel with mustard isn't unheard of, certainly not in Bavaria, but in these parts Butterbrezeln are much more common, literally just a Brezel slathered with a thick layer of butter. Or Käsebrezel, a Brezel that is covered in shredded cheese while baking to make for a crisp cheesy outside. A more recent trend, I believe, but one I personally enjoy a lot, is butter and chives.
I come from Luxembourg and we have something called Bretzelsonntag. It's a bit like Valentinesday where a guy will buy a usually sweet Bretzel for the girl. If she returns his feelings she will give him a basket of chocolate eggs for easter.
Soft is the way to go, but I also don't like crispy things Pepper Prezels are amazing, but a good Prezel with salt is fine as well I am actually not sure about Prezels with Mustard? like sure the combination exist, but usually not on its own? its more a White Sausage with Mustard and a Prezel kinda deal you know? It's mostly eaten with Butter
I cook gortons fishsticks in the oven than take them with me to Supermarket and sneakly place 1 with note on it by the Cashier and watch them from distance. The note say DO NOT GET A ABORTIN
Justin, your theology sucks! LOL! We don't use unleavened bread as a 'stand in' for the bread Christ used in the Last Supper since HE used unleavened bread!
"Last Supper" are 2 words that send chills down the spine of any Hobbit.
Lmao

Hahah that's incredible (and probably ill-advised).
holy wow that carving of jesus with the pretzel underneath is one of the funniest things i’ve ever seen

Always preferred soft over crunchy

Haha I need to get on your level. Incredible move to sit down for breakfast and think, "How do I enhance my soft pretzel?" Thanks for the sub!

Yeah, that sounds credible. Ha
Soft pretzels are clearly the better pretzel
I currently bake homemade soft pretzels and sell them at the local farmers market. I rotate between cinnamon sugar and red chili.

Pretzel schnitzel is next level
We gotta get one of these about the incredible history of RYE bread! The king of the hearty loaf
2:05-2:12 “Classic” 💀🤣
I mean, the amount of times we've read something has origins in paganism...

Basically, well done i like what you did there. Very clever.

As a Philadelphian, I love me some street pretzels.

In Maastricht, in city in the south of the Netherlands, Europe. Pretzels are called ‘nonnevodden’ which means nuns behinds.
basket tacos?? i dont think ive heard of this before and im mex american, i wonder if its a region thing?
Soft is the way to go, but I also don't like crispy things

It's mostly eaten with Butter
It's the Staffordshire Knot!
There's more to pretzels then meets the eye, as they say
Pizza Pretz are the best variety.
for me soft pretzels are better than hard ones, especially ones from Wetzel's Pretzels, and the German pretzels.
Come on, guys: the history of coffee!
Now I’m interested in the pineapple side bar…
The Holey Trinity.
Can we talk about Hummus!?
It only has a "hard shell" when it´s old or burnt. a freshly made, warm one is always soft. - german says so
It would be super helpful for you to do a Misconceptions about Abortion or Misconceptions about Roe v. Wade. Maybe partner with ReWired News?
volume low..
Brezel. Bavarians eat that all the time.
*bretzl
Baking soda and lye pretzels are not the same.
First
The word is "La-tin". Not La-en. God, the frigging glottal stop replacement for "t"s drive's me crazy.
Americans don't pronounce "t"s, it's not anything new. Why would that drive you crazy? Overly sensitive much?
@@alechall7082wow that’s kinda true 🤔
It's pronounced "Latin," not "Lah-Uhn." The "T" in "Latin" is not silent.

I like mini pretzels
