Salz Special #1

Next stop was Salzbrezeln, a tiny little café specialising in freshly baked German-style pretzels and deli sandwiches. The shop itself was so small it only really fit people ordering, with just a few concrete seats out the front.

I was honestly so confused when all the girls on the trip decided to skip lunch and go get massages between training sessions 😂 Meanwhile I’m over here thinking... we still have another session this afternoon. I needs carbs.

So I grabbed this simple little number, and it completely surprised me.

The laugenstange (a long German-style pretzel roll) was absolutely spot on. Wonderfully chewy with that signature malty, salty pretzel flavour. The peppery salami had a nice kick, while the fresh crunchy onion and butter somehow made everything feel surprisingly refreshing despite how simple it was.

It ended up being exactly what I needed. Light enough that I didn’t feel weighed down before training, but satisfying enough to fuel another afternoon of aerials in the Bali heat. Simple, delicious, and proof that great bread doesn’t need much to shine.
