Pretzels, near ubiquitous in Dutch paintings, were another sort of given for the dinner party. Maybelle’s Dad required them on the menu. And, while I picture tiny handmade soft pretzels to hold the name tags, he decided to create larger more rustic ones. And, his suggestion was a good one. They went over so well, tiny ones would have been cruel, cruel indeed.
