SC - Alphabet pretzels

[Mark Schuldenfrei]

  Tibor said pretzels appear in period illustration. Are they throughout 
  SCA period, or common in part of it, or... ???

If I recall, later period, germanic, and also figured in the heraldry of a
pretzel bakers guild.

I hate to cite the same person twice in rapid succession, but Old Marian
might have more data, if you want specifics.  The arms of her business,
Battlefield Bakery (The First in Camp Followers) are a pretzel wrapped
around a sword.  (Plug: she can be found at Pennsic, serving only period
food, plus sekanjabin, for lunches or breakfasts.  Delicious and charming.)
