as I have been called out by name, let me just push back at Rafi's attempts to denigrate me. Matzo brei is objectively awesome and Rafi, not remotely for the first time in his life, is wrong.

Jack, that is a bad take, and you should feel bad for having it.

Okay I came here to bring up matzah ball soup but you already address this in the article so nevermind, this article is 100% correct. Matzah is ass.

My stepmom tried feeding me that matzagna shit 30 years ago and it's still one of the things I most resent about my upbringing. Imagine having the glorious harmony of cheese and meat and sauce defiled by mushy cracker. Matzoh is already a literal war crime but this managed to be worse.

That institute in Israel that studies loopholes for the Sabbath work prohibition so the ultra-Orthodox can outsmart Sky Daddy should really be working on kosher for passover noodles that taste like the real thing.

Rafi woke up and chose violence.

My favorite breakfast: matzo (Yehuda whole wheat for that extra nutty taste) covered in ricotta, drizzled with honey and topped with cracked black pepper.

Or matzo with cream cheese, everything bagel seasoning, and lox. Matzo is the perfect vehicle for lox and cream cheese because it's strong but not excessively bready.

Yehudah Matzo is genuinely delicious. I'd eat it all year round but then it wouldn't be special for Passover. Fite me. :)
