Before we get to the recipe, let's try some tongue twisters. Hey, Christie, we should make some twisty pretzels another time! According to Guinness World Records, this is the hardest tongue twister in the English language:
The sixth sick sheikh's sixth sheep's sick.
The next three are well-known tongue twisters. The first is Peter Piper:
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?
But if Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Were they pickled when he picked them from the vine?
Or was Peter Piper pickled when he picked the pickled peppers
Peppers picked from the pickled pepper vine?
Were they pickled when he picked them from the vine?
Or was Peter Piper pickled when he picked the pickled peppers
Peppers picked from the pickled pepper vine?
Our second twister tongue - um, tongue twister is How Much Wood Would a Woodchuck Chuck:
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
A woodchuck would chuck all the wood a woodchuck could chuck,
if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
A woodchuck would chuck all the wood a woodchuck could chuck,
if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
Our third tongue twister is called She Sells. Our tongue is going to need a rest after all of these!
She sells sea shells by the sea shore.
The shells she sells sure are sea shore shells,
For if she sells sea shore shells as sea shells,
The shells she sells are sea shore shells.
The shells she sells are sea shore shells.
This last one will really get our tongue and taste buds ready for that pie! It's a funny one called Betty Botter:
Betty Botter bought a bit of butter
The butter Betty Botter bought was a bit bitter
And made her batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter makes better batter.
So Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter
Making Betty Botter's bitter batter better.
The butter Betty Botter bought was a bit bitter
And made her batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter makes better batter.
So Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter
Making Betty Botter's bitter batter better.
