Sophie Hanagarth / Ignacio & Corral

As crazy as I am about most things crunchy and salty, pretzels have never been in my snacking repertoire. The shape is much more attractive than the flavour, so I would gladly trade a bag of Rold Gold for just one of these hand-forged iron pretzel rings by French metalsmith Sophie Hanagarth. Fair trade, no? How 'bout two bags?
