During a dig in Bavaria, archaeologists made a great discovery of a 250 years old pretzel. A member of the Bavarian bureau for conservation of historic monuments, Silvia Codreanau, said that it is surely the oldest pretzel ever found. She, however, refused to give comments about its expiration date.
Along with the pretzel, archaeologists also discovered some remains of a bread roll and a croissant.
These baked goods are still conserved because they were originally burnt at their baking time. Archaeologists further said that the baker might have thrown them out in anger and distress.
This excavation site in eastern Bavarian is really a fruit bearing site for archaeologists who have already revealed a 1200 year old wooden house there.
The local government is now planning to construct a Bavarian history museum at this site.
Joachim Wolbergs, the Regensburg mayor, said that this discovery was remarkable as it depicted a fragment of daily life.
The fragility of baked items is a part of our daily life. Pretzels may appear as characteristically German by Non-Germans, but they are near to South German & Australian delicacy
For centuries, Pretzels have been the spirit of southern German baking customs. In Bavaria, it is mainly eaten for breakfast along with white sauce and sweet mustard.
Monks are a staple of the capital city Munich. Many monasteries and commands offer their names to the free state's well-known beers, from augustiner to weihenstephan. All are very delicious when served with the salty pretzel, and led to its popularity in the region.
