1 OF 18 REASONS WHY MATZO SUCKS (an ongoing series)


I blink my eyes and Passover once again is about to creep up on me and throw that proverbial plastic bag over my face. Then the holiday will hold the bag tight ‘til my struggling body goes limp.
Actually, I’m making more of it than it is. To all you non-Jews out there that have never been to a Passover Seder – think Thanksgiving combined with rules and reading out loud. And of course zero bread or anything with yeast (stuffing, beer, etc.) WHY? Basically because some Jewish, Moses roadie didn’t know how to budget time very well, we’re stuck chompin’ on Matzo for 7 %$#% days. Ugh.
Here’s the first of 30 reasons of why I feel Matzo sucks...and you should to.

#1: Matzo immediately shatters into crumbs when you spread anything on it, especially butter.

BTW...my whole "Matzo sucks" positioning shouldn't affect your opinion of Streit's – Makers of fine Kosher for Passover products since 1925. Nothing says Passover like Streit's. Delicious! Tasty! Kosher-riffic!

  6. Save some of those little garlic butter dips you get with pizzas and just dip the crackers.

  10. It breaks into crumbs to replace all of the stupid bread crumbs that you are supposed to chase out of the house with a feather!

  11. I guess rice cakes or taco shells wouldn't make the cut would they? Or would they?
    They don't crumble much, but they are dry as the hills of Gilboa.

  15. My daughter in law is Jewish but she never taught me about her holidays when I asked. Maybe that's why she's bitchy around passover? haha. jk. Isn't matzo bland as well?
