Pretzel

The Big Cat writes "So today i tackled a giant pretzel. I've always wondered what these would be like- a giant version of the brittle, crisp like ones we get - surely not! Anyway i kept up my end of the bargain perfectly when i ordered with a large diet coke (see the size of it) and a side of melted cheese 50c xtra! It was very large and not the nicest- its a very heavy, rich doughey- bready substance with a hint of the pretzel flavour i know from the minis. After a rew bites it was hard work in terms of mastication, but also because it was so heavy and the flavour rather flat and dull. At first a few dunks of the melted cheese and swigs of my coke got me through, and i thought i'll definitely finish this. But then as the going was getting tough i encountered the large salted area (you can see from the picture that the main density is in the middle part). these salt rocks, scattered on the pretzel like hundreds and thousands were each the size of meteors, or small moons. A mouthful of them set in train a gag reflex which made you want to down half your pop in a swig (approx 2 litres). This was too much, i soldiered on for another bite but i could actually imagine my arteries furring up and becoming blocked- I tapped out- there's no shame in that i don't think. Anyway an hour later i saw off a helping of lemon cajun chcken and rice without a flicker of doubt as Rachel and her dad had to leave theirs- so i'm back on track. We also sited our first Taco Bell today - the first mouthful gets nearer!!!!!!!!! "
