First up is matzo, the unleavened bread that looks like a giant, bland cracker. Imagine the most boring saltine you’ve ever eaten, then remove the salt and the fun—that’s matzo. It’s a symbol of the Israelites fleeing Egypt so fast they didn’t have time for their bread to rise.
In everyday life, matzo is the friend who shows up to the party uninvited and stays for a week. You’ll find crumbs in your couch, your bed, and probably your soul. It’s also surprisingly versatile—you can break it into soup, spread butter on it, or use it as a makeshift frisbee (please don’t test this).
