You always wondered.

Nuttella is kosher?

Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :

That's brilliant. I've tried to score it with a serrated knife before, but this was limited in success.

Apparently matzah makes your head bob from side to side. (?)

Just like the way to tear paper along a straight line. Huh. I never thought to apply it to matzah or crackers!

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

Brilliant!

(But only if you eat gebrux, uh, gebrocks, uh, gebrochs, uh, wet matzah.)

Yes, although it is dairy (and not kosher for Pesach). But that's not Nutella. It's chocolate spread -- which comes in both dairy and non-dairy varieties, and is (or at least can be) kosher for Pesach.

Not only is that method gebrochts (which is fine with me), it will result in soggy edges. bleh!

It's a good idea to not go against the grain when trying to cut something.

Matzos included. [Big Grin]

whats really fun is watching someone eat a burger on Matzah. [Smile]

I had Jewish roommates for 7 years, and we could get creative with meals at times. The best was when their mothers brought food up to us.

Of course then there was the "reform" Jew who lived a few buildings down who said that if you were in a room without windows on the first night you could still eat whatever you wanted since you didn't really know for sure that the sun had set yet (even at 10:00pm) since the last time you had seen the sky the sun was up.

Now that was one strange girl.

I wish I could apply that kind of logic to everything in life.
