Tomorrow (wednesday) is Pesach, the Jewish easter. I would like to take this moment to say happy Pesach to all Jews and Israelis on these boards.

Why not? Take matzah, smear some tomato sauce on it, sprinkle mozzerella cheese on it and throw it into the oven. Remember, if not for innovation, humans would be just another animal. -------------------- ??? ?????? ???? ????? Posts: 883 | Registered: Wednesday, October 19 2005 07:00 |

Blech. Matzah, while tasty in cracker-like form, is a bad substitue for bread. You wouldn't make matzah ball soup "bread ball soup", would you? Then please, major corporations, no matzah stuffing!

The Last Supper of Christ was a Passover (Pesach) meal. That's why the holidays of Easter and Passover are so close together. Happy holidays to the other Jews out there. Matzah is supposed to remind you of the suffering. It's not called the bread of affliction for nothing when you use it for sandwiches. One careless bite and your sandwich shatters.

Happy Passover to everybody here who celebrates it. Randomizer, that's an interesting observation about meaning of matza sandwiches. I haven't thought of that before. Nicothodes, pizza at Passover dinner? lol That reminds me of a friend from college, who didn't follow laws of Kashrut, but observed laws of Passover. Some of the things she ate during Passover were quite unexpected. (Although I don't think there were any matza-bacon-and-cheese sandwiches. :) ) -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

Eww :P Any adaptations of non-pasadic meals for passover are just awful in general. I'd rather just eat passover specials like matzah ball soup or matzah fry/brei. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

quote:*giggle* I'm all in favour of matzah meal versions of real food. Passover is one of my least favourite times of year– there's so little you can eat that's actually GOOD. *sigh* I've gotten through about 2 Passovers without giving up + starting to eat bread again. Out of sixteen.

Is it just me, or does the active member population seem disproportionately Jewish? I have nothing against Jews, but I'm curious what makes Spiderweb such a Jew-magnet. Interestingly enough, I work at a grocery store, and we sell more challah bread during Passover than any other time of the year. Now, if Jews can't eat levened bread during Passover, who the heck is buying all that challah? -------------------- "You're drinking liquor because you're thirsty?

My roommate would like me to interject on behalf of Messianic Jews converted from Islam, and says that only the ceremonial food sucks. They do it as tradition. Now, the meal that comes in the middle of the ceremony, he says, is generally very good, especially if you don't have to worry about the Kosher laws. Edit: I forgot to mention that my rommate is actually actively avoiding Spiderweb, under the claims that the game look low-quality. I think he doesn't want to risk enjoying a game that doesn't use 100% processing power in his PC's video card. -------------------- The Silent Assassin enjoys bitter herbs.

quote:10 people out of 200+ active members doesn't look that disproportionate. (5% might be a bit higher than general population, but not by much.) As for sales of challah during passover, that's weird. Maybe some people that go to your store confused challah and matza? :) PS Nico, sorry about misreading your post. I probably shouldn't have been posting at the time when I should have been asleep. -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

Wow. I seem to have tried to edit my post to fix a typo, but quoted it instead. Sorry.
