matza tastes good
April 3rd, 2007It really does, when it’s done right. There’s nothing quite like a fresh, crisp, whole grain, handmade matzah with a schmear of whipped butter and a sprinkling of sea salt. Yemenite matzah tastes a lot like naan and not much like Ashkenazi matzah at all. And there ain’t nothin’ like a good bowl of matzah ball soup (light and fluffy please, not heavy and leaden). Here’s to flourless chocolate cake and pavlova!
Happy passover y’all!

Please tell what the hebrew characters say. Happy Passover to you and more of them

Thanks, EmBee! It says “happy spring holiday,” a synonym for Passover.

Chag Sameach Shelly!
I actually make quite a delicious chocolate torte for passover using sweet potato to give it a cheesecake type consistency. I found it on Epicurious last year and it its been a huge hit at the seder two years in a row.

Thanks, Harry! That sounds delicious. Interesting idea, using sweet potato. I’ve got to try that.

I’d already decided that I was actually Sephardic and not Ashkenazi so I could eat rice during Passover. Now you’ve given me one more reason. Next year I’m going to revive an old tradition- eating *during* the seder, not after it- and serving Sephardic style matzoh as well.

Yes, I too “converted” to Sephardism long ago. Funny, Edelman doesn’t sound very Sephardic ;).
