Pretzels!
I love pretzels. I mean, what’s not to love about a giant dough-product that is socially acceptable to gnaw on in public? Plus I love mustard, and since the pretzels in my life have been mustard delivery systems designed as “fun food”, I’m naturally looking forward to the pretzels we’ll have at the Ventura County Oktoberfest.
See, these aren’t just any pretzels. These are special Bavarian pretzels made at the German Baeckerei Piller and then shipped over here for Oktoberfest. These are what shopping mall pretzels hope they can be reincarnated as, the King of Pretzelville 
Well, OK maybe that’s a bit of hyperbole but they’re REALLY REALLY good, trust.
My friend Google told me that Bavarian pretzels were an accident created by a german baker named Anton Nepomuk Pfannenbrenner. Apparently he was making a sweet pretzel, but accidently glazed the pretzels with a baking soda solution. The tasty result became known as the “Bavarian Pretzel” as well as a GREAT accompaniment to German Beer.
Mmmmm Pretzel!
