Pretzel Croissants - aka Brezenhörnchen

Great Moments in Food
When tasty things take me by surprise!

 

At the Munich train station (hauptbahnhof) is a bakery catering to morning commuters and tourists.  I didn't hold high hopes for it but at the early morning hour we were there to catch a train to Salzburg our choices were limited. 

Since it was Christmas time there was a plethera of Lebkuchen (gingerbread) in many shapes and forms, as well as cakes, tarts and breads.  We bought a bunch of things, even though we had no clue what they were. We also got what we thought were a couple of croissants, just in case we didn't like anything else we tried.
