"national soft pretzel month" news and stories

I went through a phase several years ago where I was eating soft pretzels for meals once or twice a month.

Now, this wasn't just grabbing a couple of soft pretzels and something to drink and calling it a meal, I put different things on top of the pretzel: ham and cheese, peanut butter and jelly, mustard. It's like having a really chewy sandwich, only a lot saltier. Hey, why not, it's pretty much bread, right?

April is National Soft Pretzel Month. You can buy your own from the supermarket or make your own with this recipe from Alton Brown.
