Once spring is in full swing and the nights begin to draw out, there’s nothing better than inviting friends or family round and serving up simple yet tasty snacks so that you can spend time together rather than slaving over a hot stove for hours. We want to be sociable and enjoy the nicer evenings with friends – complete with plenty of laughter and a few glasses of fine wine. This year more than ever! Pretzel rolls will make the perfect accompaniment to any of your cold meat or cheese platters. All you need are some pickled vegetables, a bottle of chilled wine and you’re ready to welcome your guests.
