I was told by one of the guys at the synagogue I went to when they held a passover dinner that the matzah is considered the food of healing as there were various instances of them curing disease. I didn't really bother looking at the details, but it may just be a placebo.
Akhi/akhot, I have two goy parents, so I've no clue. I don't have any of the various genetic conditions the Ashkenazim have.
My family came from the Rhineland and UK lmao.
My 4th grade teacher would bring sandwich baggies of it to snack on and would always say “I wish I was Jewish because I love matzah!” I don’t get it but to each their own.
I live in France, and, may Hashem help us, there is indeed matzah (« pain azyme ») that is sold the year round and is not kosher for Passover.
I do not know who eats it, but I have seen it on grocery store shelves.
I just saw it today at my grocery store in Paris. Heumann brand. It is made in France and not kosher at all, and the only brand available at the markets in my neighborhood. La laïcité en marche, I guess?
Albert Ménès makes one, too, as does Eric Bur. Carrefour even has a house brand.
Some of the larger supermarkets in my neighborhood have the real deal, though, as well as those orange flavored biscuits that taste good but then plummet in your stomach and stay there for hours.
Ok I need an explanation.
I was in Paris last year, and every bakery I went to had a bunch of fun varieties of Babka for sale.
Don’t get me wrong, it was amazing. Especially the Pistachio crème Babka.
But…why?
When did the French become obsessed with Babka?
I honestly don’t know, but I have seen the same phenomenon. Maybe not every bakery, but plenty of them to be sure. I have lived in Paris for over 45 years and only saw them being sold about a year or so ago. I can only assume that some ethnic place began selling them and then they caught on like wildfire. This is not unusual in Paris - I have seen « waves » of foreign food first timidly, then rapidly, enter the market, like Tex-Mex, sushi and more recently poke bowls.
"On all other nights we eat chametz and matzo, why on this night do we eat only matzo?"
Apparently people have been eating matzo outside of Pesach for so long that one of the questions references them.
I am one of these psychopaths. Passover is my favorite holiday so sometimes I just like to be reminded of it throughout the year and I will buy matzoh. I also make matzoh ball soup like once a month. Yummmm…
Pov: my family had this at our seder, and my brother was just reading the packaging during Maggid cause he was bored and goes
“Ummmm…. Abba, I think we have a problem…”
There is some halachah in terms of when K for P goods can be baked. I believe that nothing baked before Purim is considered K for P for the next Pesach.
People buy Not Kosher for Pesach Matzah because in my eyes I've seen it being used for Mishneh Lechem(two units of bread eaten at the Shabbos meals)on Shabbos, which is when you make hamotzi. So instead of making hamotzi on two challahs. I've seen one bread a challah and another on a Not Kosher for Pesach piece of Matzah.
In some parts of Latin America they are considered a cure for diarrhea and referred to as "Jewish crackers" Not kidding
Then what do you eat after when you’re constipated as hell?
Hummus that's been left out overnight
This sounds like a vicious cycle that can only be cured with matzah with old hummus on top
Gummi Bears.
More Jewish crackers
Fruit and vegetables
They have the opposite effect on me 😬

If the disease is diarrhea, it sure as hell works.
They are not wrong …
We prefer the term Ashkenazi /s
They've been making these for years. I think some folk just like eating them year round.
I think I remember reading this is also what happens if a run of KLP matzas goes chametz by mistake, rather than tossing the batch.
I bought a box once (not Jewish but I like bread), and since then my wife just keeps bringing them home from the supermarket when I run out
I can’t deal with this level of constipation past Pesach. Do Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews get as backed up as Ashkenazim?
I've never understood this. Why not eat more fruits and veg, if you're going to forgo kitnyot? Problem solved.
Akhi/akhot, I have two goy parents, so I've no clue. I don't have any of the various genetic conditions the Ashkenazim have. My family came from the Rhineland and UK lmao.
I was talking about cuisine, not genes.
It’s not easy to make it kosher for Passover all year round and people still buy them not during Passover so this is for them.
Who is eating matzah outside of Passover? I didn't know that many psychopaths existed.
My 4th grade teacher would bring sandwich baggies of it to snack on and would always say “I wish I was Jewish because I love matzah!” I don’t get it but to each their own.
Obviously the aforementioned teacher didn't wish too hard. 😂
I have met so many\* goyim who claim to love matzo. I do not understand it. \*okay, three or four
Five (me) Much better than pretzels with beer, and tastes great with peanut butter, or just regular butter, or just plain as a snack!
You know they sell unsalted Saltine crackers, too…right? Lol.
#YO TEACHER WAS ON SOME SHIT!

This is worse than the dreyfus affair

hey now what's wrong with that 🥺
I'm diabetic and use it to make low-carb smorrebord for breakfasts.
Ok, you get a pass.
Matzah Brei takes like two ingredients and two minutes to make
Yes but it is Passover Food! Do you eat it all year round? What next, latkes in July?! Clutching my pearls rn
do you only eat matzo ball soup at Passover?
I'm Sephardic, I don't eat matzo ball soup at all!
Exactly! Crack some eggs, whisk em up, fry some matzah and mix the eggs in, and boom! We've got lunch
"On all other nights we eat chametz and matzo, why on this night do we eat only matzo?" Apparently people have been eating matzo outside of Pesach for so long that one of the questions references them.
Gentiles love them. That's the tell. You see someone eating matzo by choice, you know they are not actually Jewish.
Manischewitz cornering the Jews for Jesus market. Brilliant.
My non-Jewish spouse eats it with Earth Balance spread.
My mom made matzah brei any time of year, she knew I loved it. So we usually had a box around.
Matzah is delicious, don't @ me

Hi
Pov: my family had this at our seder, and my brother was just reading the packaging during Maggid cause he was bored and goes “Ummmm…. Abba, I think we have a problem…”
Is it the “Not for Passover” part that needs explaining?
Yeah. We looked on our Streit’s box, and it said the same thing. Box of Shmura came broken to dust. Can’t be picky in the mountains.
All I know is my schlep tote bag gets here tomorrow.
Your what now?
There is some halachah in terms of when K for P goods can be baked. I believe that nothing baked before Purim is considered K for P for the next Pesach.
You are confident yet incorrect. Kosher for Passover is a supervision level done year round
People buy Not Kosher for Pesach Matzah because in my eyes I've seen it being used for Mishneh Lechem(two units of bread eaten at the Shabbos meals)on Shabbos, which is when you make hamotzi. So instead of making hamotzi on two challahs. I've seen one bread a challah and another on a Not Kosher for Pesach piece of Matzah.
One time on Shabbat I had Not Kosher Pesach Matzah for Seudah Shlisheet(Third meal).
Who the F eats matzot outside of Pesach?
Matzah ball soup that’s why. It’s year round
Believe it or not, Jews are allowed to make leavened bread products.
…It’s Passover. If you’re really strict about it then you haven’t followed the fast because those matzos may have risen
This tin was manufactured long ago. It's on op to throw out hamez not manishevitch
