• lol the price is right

  there’s not such a big price difference between a bentley and matzo nowadays

  I hope that they do not order the Kfar Chabad version–it smells and taste like it several years old.
  Second, this Matzo is not the version our forefather had when they left Egypt. Their matzo, still used in a lot of Sepherdic communities, was soft and like a lavoush or tortilla because it states in the hagadah and other sources that when you make your sandwich you wrap the contentents in the Matzo besides tearning the Afakohmen

    That is true, but soft matzah like that goes stale almost immediately, so it has to be baked every day. Read some old Sefardi accounts of daily life, and you will find that on Shabbos Pesach, when baking was impossible, the matzos had to be soaked in water to make them edible!

    That was all very well when we lived in small villages and it was possible to go to the bakery every day to get fresh matzos; imagine doing that today, even if you live in NY, let alone if you live out of town and have to import matzos. It would be impossible. That’s why we started making the matzos crisper and less perishable.
