Old matzah, new matzah
The Free-Lance Star in Fredericksburg, Va., published an ode to good old fashioned fried matzah:
In a holiday filled with ritual foods, matzo is the oldest symbol of salvation in the Passover Seder. In fact, the Seder can't end until the last piece of matzo has been recovered from its ceremonial hiding place and eaten.My memories of matzo are long and fond. My dad's mother, Nanny Ann, used to make matzo brei for us whenever she visited.
She was stout and matronly, given to much fretting and hand-wringing unless she was busy in the kitchen.
But for those looking for something more avant-guarde, check out Gothamist's roundup of New York eateries offering creative matzah-based dishes.
