Man I love these things. Why does it seem that only I possess the knowledge of the perfect amount and distribution of salt on a pretzel? Every vendor seems to put too much salt, way too dense, on every pretzel they sell, or else; way too little, too sparsely dispersed.

The only perfect soft pretzel seems to be one that I salted myself. And the reality that I can do it in my draws is icing on the cake.

I suppose you could just scrape off some of the salt.

(TANSTATMS… There ain’t no such thing as too much salt…)

There’s a brewpub in my neck of the woods that sells a Ballpark Pretzel coated in garlic salt. It’s hot, yummy, chewey, yeasty, salty, mmmmmm, but I always have to scrape off some of the salt.

I can see a place that sells drinks wanting to push as much salt as they can into their customers.
