Would like to report, even though the menu or any of the employees are unaware of it, a jumbo pretzel or pretzel nuggets both count as "sides" on the dining plan.
I am beginning to discover a multitude of hidden items on the dining plan, and I shall continue to report my findings. For the next two days you shall refer to me as Inspector Dreyfus.
You can, assuming the chips are included and don;t count as a separate side item.Hmmm, I was just coming here to ask that. So with the dining plan, I could get a pretzel sandwich with chips AND a jumbo pretzel? Has anyone tried that?
That's... not how I learned it. It may vary regionally, but my grandmother (German immigrant) definitely called them Brezeln.
Edit: Wikipedia seems in alignment with this.

Here's a unique twist...people still expecting BGW to be accurate in all things European.
Sorry but this bugs the crap out of me:
Pretzel in German is pretzel.
As someone who is fluent in German and still speaks it rather regularly for work I can say that there is some pronunciation difference between dialects. But those are dying out and you don't see a lot of it spoken anymore. I will say that BGW isn't actually 100% grammatically correct. Die Brezeln is the plural form of the word. However they then use the singular form of Bier instead of Die Biere which would be plural.It depends where in Germany you are TBH. I learned more Northern Germany vernacular and the professor I had explained it that way and though it’s generally pronounced the same (English is a Germanic language) it can be spelt differently.
I went about an hour ago and bought a Pretzel Dog. Good quality on the pretzel and hotdog. I wish the chips were a bit crispier but honestly no complaints on my end. EDIT: The line was also very manageable. Only about 6-7 minutes.Has anyone been here today or is planning on going? Is it a good day or a not-so-good day for pretzels?
