Did you know that pretzels were invented by Italian monks? Yes, the popular snack that goes so well in Chex Mix and is sold on practically every street corner in New York City and every mall in America has Christian roots. One of the stories of its invention is shared in The History of Science and Technology by Bran Bunch and Alexander Hellemans, an Italian monk is credited with the invention (in 610AD). It is said that the monk made pretzels as a reward for children who learned their prayers. The "pretiola (little rewards)," which is made of dough, is folded to resemble arms crossing the chest in prayer.

Don't lose the tradition of dried fish soup! The culinary tradition of the Atlantic coast of Honduras is still intact. The public markets are crowded with vendors shouting and offering the traditional dried salted fish, which when prepared is the favorite dish at this time of rest and Christian reflection.
