As a point of interest, I went chasing the terms precedella and brezel
(Latin and German terms for pretzel). The first appears in Rumpolt (in case
no one has mentioned it).
Googling Brezel provided a link to this interesting site in German (you will
probably want to check both the Geman site and the translation):
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brezel
The site ties the first reference to Brezel to the Council of Lepontinae in
743. Unfortunately, I haven't as yet been able to track down references to
the council, but I assume it is a rather obscure religious gathering.
