>Ah. Google search turns up 1440.

okay, cool.  that is visual evidence.  any written on when 
pretzels were introduced?  i have heard the story of the 
bread scraps/monk/praying hands/kiddie treat pretzels.

i am trying to put together a very simple snack board to 
keep the hordes happy (and away from mccydee's and 
spoiling appetites) before dinner.  since dinner is at 3 
p.m., i don't want a lot of stuff out.  was thinking 
 olives, pickles, grapes, and when thinking bread/butter 
the idea of pretzels and mustard came to mind (since the 
scribe in me knew of the illuminations).  and on the 
economy side, i don't want enough out there for the people 
not paying for feast to get a meal from the snack/side 
board.

since at the moment everyone is busy talking about sewing 
to dress to the theme, i am figuring there might be a fair 
number of folk who will have skipped brekkies in favor of 
finishing a hem. ;)

having a good pear tree harvest, the pear mustard ideas 
are spinning in ye olde head, and this seems a good place 
to mebbe use it, since it wouldn't fall into the other 
areas.

thanks for your help, as always.
