Spaghetti Pretzel. An ultra-simple snack that anyone can make with just spaghetti noodles. Perfect for your next Netflix Binge.

Katie and I visited a new bar a few weeks ago. And they served these simple-looking “twigs” as anju. I initially thought it was some sort of modern decor but the neighboring tables were happily munching away at it… So I too had to take a bite.

The taste wasn’t strong or distinct. Mostly crunching with pockets of sugar and salt. But strangely, I couldn’t stop eating them! It reminded me of skinny pretzels. Soon enough, we were asking for a refill. I asked the server what they were and she told me it was deep-fried spaghetti!

My mind was blown… and I got excited to share with you – our neighbors 🕺
