Anybody want some fried matzo?

[Random Variable]

I just made myself more fried matzo than I can consume.

I'm feeling very Jewish right about now.

I think that the matzo is an endangered animal.

How dare you cook them!

Fried feces. My jewish grampa used to eat that crap. I would have to open the bottle, dunk those little turd balls into a boll, and microwave it. Then serve it to him. I swear that stuff is absolute crap.

I don't know who you are, but I don't like you. And I think you're thinking of matzo ball soup or something.

Hrrmmm not the same thing I take it?

Not made out of the same meat?

Buy a box of matzo (preferably the unsalted variety). Break the matzo into little to moderate-sized pieces, and then soak the matzo pieces in some water. Next beat some eggs and combine the matzo pieces with the eggs (don't forget to drain the matzo first, though). From there it is like making an omelette. You can add onions, peppers, etc. if you so desire. Viola!

You forgot to mention what the matzo is made of? (i'm curious)

Matzo is a flat piece of unleavened bread. It's like a giant cracker.

Similar to the hosts/wafers you get at communion?

*edit* or more like a pita?

 

[Shaftatplanetquake]

Ah. Quite different from the feces my grandfather used to gobble up like tic-tacs.

The matzo balls used in the soup is made from matzo meal (matzo that that has been grounded).

According to the box, matzo is made from unbleached wheat flour, water, hydrogenated vegetable shortening, and malt.

It's very brittle.

It's like bread without the yeast.

Doesn't the lack of leavening have to do with not having time to wait for bread to rise when the Jews fled Eghpt?

Joke:

A young rabbi was sitting out on a park bench eating his lunch when a poor blind beggar sat on a bench beside his. The rabbi was overcome with pity and decided to share some of his lunch with the beggar. He leaned over hand placed two large pieces of matzo in the beggar's hands.

"Here you go, sir. Enjoy."

The young rabbi turned back to his text books and the rest of his lunch. After he finished his lunch and his reading he looked back at the beggar. The beggar hadn't eaten either piece of matzo.

"What is the matter, sir. Did you not like it?"


To which the beggar replied,























"This book sucks! I don't understand any of it!"

That's what I have always been told, but some scholars say that the story isn't entirely true.

EDIT: The hasty exodus from Egypt after 200 years of enslavement is true, though.
