Showing the crumb of the pretzel.
"Brezeln" are eaten as snacks and for breakfast. Cut in half and spread with butter they are sold as "Butterbrezn" in southern Germany especially.
In the Black Forest in Germany the "Fasnacht Hanseln" give out pretzels during Karneval parades to anyone who can sing their song:
D'Bach 'na,
d'Bach 'na,
mit Kümmer und mit Sorge'.
Bis am Asch,
bis am Asch,
Aschenmittwochmorge'
Down the stream,
down the stream,
with worry and anxiety,
until Ash,
until Ash,
Ash Wednesday morning.
Guten Appetit!
