How to Eat a Giant Pretzel...

...the Hungry Jenny way...

Now, when you're given a Christmas menu which lists a 'Giant Baked Pretzel' as a dessert, you immediately think, "Hm, I wonder just how giant this giant baked pretzel can be?"

Well, that was my immediate reaction anyway.

So of course, I ordered it and waited most eagerly. And it was a situation where the meal was booked weeks in advance (it was for my works Christmas lunch), so the wait was pretty long. During this time of course, my wonderment about this Giant Baked Pretzel grew...

Hm, I wonder if it'll be the size of my FACE?
Or maybe even bigger?
Will it be served in a paper bag like the ones you get from the stalls?
I wonder what it'll be served with - or will it literally just be a humongous pretzel?

Then at last, the day arrived and so did the greatly anticipated Giant Baked Pretzel...

Hm. Now how do you eat this?

1. Use the dessert spoon you've been given to scoop off the ice cream (yes I'm weird, I'm not a fan of ice cream).
2. Pick up the pretzel and place near face to gauge size*.
3. Put pretzel back down and make a couple failed attempts to hack into it with the dessert spoon.
4. Throw spoon down in despair.
5. Proceed to go in, KFC-style instead, using your fingers to rip the pretzel apart to eat it.
6. Make regular apologies to your laughing colleagues playing witness to your ever-growing sticky chocolate state.
7. Realise towards the end that it probably would have been wiser to request a knife and fork.

*Verdict: Not quite the size of my face but sizeable enough!

Ok, so on reflection, this is perhaps not the most sociable way to eat a Giant Baked Pretzel, but my colleagues are still talking to me so I can't have scarred them too badly...
