==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 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>
- In a Gospel from Salzburg, Austria (MS G44), dating to around 1050, fol 80 shows the Last Supper, which also features a whole and one half a brezel.
