I do like salty pretzels (sometimes with yellow mustard), especially when I am in New York City and Philadelphia, which was long ago. I grew up on Long Island, New York, in the 1960s and 1970s, often visiting New York City. In the early 1980s, I attended Villanova University near Philadelphia.

I haven't eaten one of them in quite a long time.

I also liked salty pretzels from that lady with the cart outside of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum after New York Islanders games, when I was a teenager in the 1970s. "Pretzels !!! Cold soda !!! Italian ice !!!," she would bark. Do you remember her? She was out there hawking after every game.
