Season 11 episode 2 "Pretzel logic" of Alton Brown's "Good eats" spends a
disproportionate (IMHO) amount of time on mustard preparation and the
consumption of mustard in conjunction with pretzels--the fat puffy kind that
are common in the NW United States.

Where and when did this pretzel-mustard tradition get started?

Oh and is it true that Philadelphia's per capita consumption of pretzels is
10 times the US average? And if so (or if not) why?
