Recipes, no. Unfortunately. Evidence for pretzels, yes. I do 
periodically bring this subject up to see if anyone has any additional 
info. Anyway, check this file in the FOOD-BREADS section of the 
Florilegium:
pretzels-msg      (29K) 11/13/04    Period pretzels and pretzel-like 
breads.

Okay, looking at the date, it looks like I updated the file recently 
but I know I haven't uploaded it to the website yet. Wait a few days 
and I will try to get all the new files uploaded to that section after 
I finishing updating the rest of the files in that section or send me 
an email request and I will send you the latest copy by email in RTF, 
text or HTML format.
