How exactly is this horseradish used in the Passover sense (creamy horseradish spread on matah=idea I must pursue)?

Let us now recall the GEFILTE wars from the Rosh Hashanah thread.

why the fuck would you try to make it out of matzo meal??!??! that would be about as dense as a neutron star.
the only passover kugel is POTATO kugel which is made basically the same way as regular potato kugel, of which im making about 10 lbs of come saturday.

10 potatoes, peeled if you wish, grated or food processed, then drained of moisture with a strainer1-2 onions, (or to taste) grated/food processed 3-4 eggs, probably the more eggs, the richer it is1/2 cup matzo meal(/flour if not pascal)1/4 cup oila good amount of saltblack pepper to taste
mix all this together in a giant bowl, put it in a greased pan so that the stuff is about 2 inches high, bake at 350ºF for 1.5-2 hours till nice golden brown on top. I hate when cooked potatoes have any hardness left to them, so I'm going for closer to 2 hours.
pretty easy except for the mass grating of potatoes.

Me too. I'm devoid of any spirituality and was born as such but if there's any religion I should've been born into it should've been Judaism as it's the only one I feel some affinity for.

Like, grown up me is an atheist so I don't think of myself as episcopalian, even though I was raised in that faith and that is the faith of my parents, etc. . . the same sort of thing does or does not apply to Judaism? Anyone?

What makes a good babka? and other questions about traditional Jewish desserts
is one still popularly identified as Jewish even if one is completely secular
short answer: yes, and in fact this was the reason behind my response to Ian's comment

No. And orthodox Judaism makes even less sense. Case in point, *they* accosted my girlfriend and gave her a box of "Shmurah Matzah", on which was printed this explanation:
"For the Seder one should try to have Shmuroh Matzo's [sic]. If it is difficult to obtain all three Shmuroh Matzo's, an effort should be made that at least the first 'kazayis' eaten should be Shmuroh. To fulfill the mitzvah of eating ('kazayis') Matzoh, one should try to eat an entire piece of Matzoh equivalent in size to 4x5 inches in no more than 4 minutes. If more than 6 minutes pass from the beginning till the finish, the mitzvah of eating 'kazayis' Matzoh has not been fulfilled..."

potato kugel = awesomenoodle kugel = grosscharoset = fine, but i'd never eat it if i didn't have tohorseradish = blecchhard-boiled egg in salt water = i love hard-boiled eggs! the salt makes 'em that much tastier.manischewitz wine = my guilty pleasure. i always feel embarrassed telling wine geeks that i like the stuff. it's like the jewish night train.matzoh = fine. egg matzoh is very good. chocolate-covered matzoh is manna from heaven. nothing especially dud about matzoh; it's the same thing as those posh swedish flatbread crackers.latkes = OH BABY. with apple sauce please, and hold the sour cream.

it really is worth it to get the genuine huggable matzah ball. the knock-off ones give you a rash

I always eat way too many macaroons. Favorite are Manichevitz chocolate chip.
I love the Hillel sandwich why because it tastes intersting.
I try to do the unleavened kosher for Passover but usually some Gentile will trick me into eating cake on the last day, arguing with me over when the holiday ends.
what's passover like round your way?
Sometimes (including this year) I visit my parents. We invite the widow over, eat lamb and boiled egg and parsley and matzo ball soup. Then we play bridge, while the dog jumps on the table and eats a golf-ball shaped hole in the honey cake.
I like the idea of the stupid son.

it only occurred to me now that the reason the GHMB looked just a bit small for hugging (lol, matzoh ball is hueg) was because it might not be meant for adults. i have to see my sister's plague kit.
i was holding onto the possibility that my mom had invented 'hillel sandwich', but i'm glad it's found elsewhere as well.
my parents are abandoning me for grandma, tho i may join them if i can and the crowd isn't too large already. i might end up leading a seder - lol?
― gabbneb, Monday, 31 March 2008 02:57 (sixteen years ago) link
oh yeah, the hillel sandwich is in the hagaddah isn't it
happy pesach!

wtf with bay area "matzah shortage"?! By Saturday night, every single grocery store in town was completely out of matzah and matzo meal.

CONTROVERSIAL OPINION.
We didn't do Passover this year, as my Grandparents, who usually host, are on the other side of the country. Usually it's the seder with the reading and the singing and the wine and the plagues and the haroset and the bitter herbs and the matzoh ball soup and family arguments.
