What is the difference between the new York philly west coast and german versions? Are they just shaped different or is there a difference in the cooking/recipe?

They are all the same recipe (vegan) just twisted in their respective styles.

I don't know but this pretzels are good always warm soft and sooo good plus Mr. Pretzels is a very friendly n generous fella I recommend to anyone reading this try a pretzel or a pretzel dog n a jalepeno pretzel bet youl love them n find yourself going often
