Plenty of Jews eat matza but aren't strict enough to need it to be officially kosher for Passover! I also have, like, one friend who likes matza enough to snack on it year-round, but they're a weirdo
We always had matzo in the house year round when I was a kid—I guess it was a comfort food for my dad? I personally find that whole “bread of suffering” description to be entirely accurate.
It’s just crackers🤷 In an excessively large size. Agree it’s a little weird but I think the relaxed timing for baking enhances putting onion flavor in it or whatever. Also the factory has to do something the other 11 months of the year I guess….
"If you are not particularly observant, either perceptually or religiously, and are making an inevitable last minute grocery run, they'll probably still have plenty of this kind"
Our entrway into Americanism was through a Jewish neighbor who introduced us to matzo as well a cracker and I think because we don't have to live on them for weeks of a year they're just tasty snacks to us.
Sincere thank you for recognizing that you like them sometimes when you’re forced to eat just them.
Tomorrow it’s time for my annual reminder to not be a jerk about exactly this.
I did a long ride once and even though we had a proper breakfast and dinner during the day we basically lived off of power bars and it has been decades and I still can't eat one. I ended up caving at one point and buying a cliff bar in desperation. So yeah I can imagine matzo gets old.
my husband gets cravings for matzo brei at the most unpredictable times & this would be just fine for that.
we also found a pretty bangin' recipe for what is essentially a hybrid of lasagna & spanakopita, with matzo as the pasta/filo layers. 🤔
