Are they French in origin? <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: --> <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Well, I hear they come from Alsace, which is French at the moment, and will probably remain so for a while <!-- s;-) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;-) -->

Ah, you've been reading Wikipedia[/url:1iuo15lb] too? <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Well, if it was part of "Germany" in the 12th Century when the earliest recored depiction of a Pretzel was recorded, does it count as German? <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

[size=75:1iuo15lb]Yes, I am stirring the shit, but not being German I have no strong opinion on the matter ;o)[/size:1iuo15lb]

Not being Alsacian either, I don't really care. All that matters to me is that it's a great pastry.
[size=67:3ulikqjy]And everybody knows they're French[/size:3ulikqjy]
[size=50:3ulikqjy]Not even half-German, adepatus? [/size:3ulikqjy]

Not even a fraction! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> There's more chance of me having a small portion of Norman blood. But having a Hiberno-Deutsch Kind, one might accuse me of showing favouritism on occasion. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->
