What are bitter herbs, anyway? They sound...well...bitter!
Keep yer pants on Cha-Cha... Cinco de Mayo is coming.
Only solution for that kinda gas is sodium bicarbonate (baking soda).
Well, they remind us of the bitterness of slavery in Egypt.
(Horse radish and parsley work for the table.
If its about destroying any tradition, NPR is right on board (unless its a politically correct ie victim group tradition).
They got nothing on the Russians for bitterness. In my grandmother's Easter basket there was a portion of horse radish that could melt your eyes!
And when I asked to include a butter sculpture of a little lamb, she practically cast me out for a heretic. Don't mess with tradition!
“But this year, as I lobby my mother-in-law yet again, I’ve got rabbis in my corner.”
So...pushy “wise Latina” wants her way or the highway.
I like rice & beans too, but it’s not some sacred ethnic pride fetish.
I like fried chicken, blackeyed peas, collards & watermelon. Does that make me black?
If I stand inside my garage long enough, will I become a car?

“Pass over that plate of tacos, please.”
But, is a nothing burger Kosher?
You have just given NPR an idea for their next profound story.
Historically in the west, rice and beans were made into flour, leading to confusion. It has never been more than a minhag (’custom’).
This story concerns the Conservative Movement, whose regard for kashrut is a joke anyway.
You’re quite a guy aren’t you?
A Jewish death by gas joke on Pesach and Shabbat.
You must be very proud.
The point of the article is pushy Mexicans.
