==The Brezel or Pretzel==
Bread in the shape of a Brezel (modern German word) or Pretzel (Americanised) . is an old one, thought the precise origin is uncertain. Here are the three four earliest manuscript depictions of a Brezel that I have, so far, been able to find:<br>- Ottonian Manuscript Getty Museum, MS. Ludwig VII 1, fol 38, produced in 1030-1040AD in Regensburg Germany. The folio depicts the Last Supper, and among round bread and fish there is also a brezel on the table.
<br>
- Ottonian Manuscript In a Gospel from Salzburg, Austria (MS. Ludwig VII 1G44), fol 38dating to around 1050, produced in 1030-1040AD in Regensburg Germany. The folio depicts fol 80 shows the Last Supper, and among round bread and fish there is which also features a whole and one half a brezel on the table.
<br>
- English Manuscript from Corpus Christi College Cambridge MS373 3895B. It was made in the 12th century and depicts the wedding feast of Matilda and Henry V (Holy Roman Emperor) in 1114 AD. Again the brezel is on the table along with round bread, knives, dishes and bowls.
