Hope to make some Bavarian pretzel dumplings this weekend. Not very attractive, but very tasty!

So is that just a pretzel dough simmered on top of something, or boiled in something?

I made a Spanish Chorizo/Chickpea/Spinach soup last night, lots of other ingredients.First time I've made it.
I thought it was delicious.
The wife threw up for about an hour and a half.
Trying to figure out what ingredient she's never had before.

Have you asked her?

Which is...?

Essentially a ham and cheese sandwich, but gussied up. Actual origin is murky, but I don't believe it hails from Cuba though, it's 'murican (Florida, to be specific). Starts with Cuban bread, which is a lot like a French or Italian loaf but is made with lard, then filled with ham, roasted pork, white swiss-like cheese, mustard, and sometimes pickles. Apparantly in Tampa they put salami in as well, which sounds good but I've never tried it that way. You then have to grill it (panini). Very good.
