Matzo: it's not just for religious rites anymore. I've got a very lax Jewish roomate who eats the stuff as a snack around passover like people eat candy canes at Christmas... just because it's the season for it. (Otherwise, she pretty much ignores the holiday.) Also, even if it's not the seder, they're not supposed to eat leavened food during the whole festival of passover... like Catholics and meat on Friday in Lent. My SO, who doesn't keep remotely Kosher any other time of year will not eat anything leavened during Passover. This includes bread, pizza, pasta, cookies, doughnuts and anything made with any of the above (like Shake n' Bake). He's not sure about popcorn (it expanded,) so he doesn't eat it. For people like him it won't matter if Sodexo keeps a Kosher kitchen, so long as there something unleavened to eat, and Matzo definitely fits the bill.glendalais wrote:Not that I would consider Backstage at Disneyland to be the best place for a Passover Meal, and I somehow don't think that Sodexo kitchens prepared it in a way that it's Kosher and approrpriate to use in the relavent Jewish religious rites or in fulfilling the Jewish mitzvah of eating it during a Passover Seder, but the thought is nice (I think).
Popcorn: When cooked. tremendous pressure builds up inside of the kernal from the water turning into steam and the inside material liquifies from the heat. Eventually, the pressure gets so high that the kernal explodes sending the molten centers out into the cooler air where it quickly cools and sets into the shape we all know.Mayonnaise wrote:He's not sure about popcorn (it expanded,) so he doesn't eat it.
They sold those. Quite yummy- it tasted like a crunch bar, as I recall.DisneyMom wrote:In the first Harry Potter movie, they had a Chocolate Frog that looked yummy but escaped before Ron Weasley could eat it :(
So do we. :p: Trouble is, he's not sure if that counts as leavening or not.Lasolimu wrote:Yes, I do know my share of food trivia.
I don't think so, unless you could steam as leavening because that is what causes it.Mayonnaise wrote:So do we. :p: Trouble is, he's not sure if that counts as leavening or not.

Of course... When I was a child and Chanukah was before Christmas It took the edge off waiting for Christmas...When Chanukah was around Christmas that was nice, and when Christmas was First,and Chanukah was after that also helped ease into the New Year... Just depends on when Chanukah is in December... Now I just do Christmas at home with my hubby, and at least One day of Chanukah with my daughter, who does more of the Chanukah thing with my inlaws...GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:Best of both worlds, you must look forward to December!!!
