    I got Pretzels in my freezer, the local German club bakes them up once a month, and they are pretty good reheated (one time only).

    I'm a bit under half Polish (almost everybody on my mother's side), a quarter Italian (paternal grandmother's side), an unknown mix of Norwegian, English, Irish, and other European countries (paternal grandfather was a mutt), and a chunk of Native American (one great-grandfather on my mother's side).

    French and native American (ma's side), English and Danish (pa's side).

    What's funny is that I came to discover only over the last few years that the French side was named Bouvier, Americanized to Boyer on moving to the States. The "French" guy was a German cattleman settled in France, so they named him by his trade. All these years, I've been cooking French food since my early teen years, but wondering why the hell I've had a major Joneses for brewing and drinking fine beer. No mystery, now.:D

    100% Indian, I'm surprised more Indians haven't responded to this thread because I know there are lots here. Maybe they don't visit the politics forum much...
