Isn't there any other part of the matzo you can eat?

Question

(on being served matzo ball soup three meals in a row)

Answer 1

Matzo crackers, matzo meal.
I like the other answers, they're cute and funny, especially av8r's quip about about the rodent, but some folks might find that joke in poor taste because rodents are not kosher. Now if it had been a rare kind of cave goat...
Really matzo is just a grade of multigrain flour that's used in making various Jewish treats and staples.
Now mountain oyster are another story....
PS -- there's a nasty rumor that keeps resurfacing, that human blood is an ingredient of matzo. Not so! The Jews are forbidden by the Law of Moses to eat blood in any form. The blood belongs to God alone, and must be given back to God by pouring it upon the Earth. (Back in the old days when they had a temple for sacrifice, some of the blood was put on the altar.) This is why, when slaughtering animals for food, kosher style, the animal must be killed and dressed in such a way as to drain all blood. The meat is further soaked in salt water to remove all remaining blood.
PS av8r -- fair enough... If you checked with proper authorities and they say that the Mazto is kosher, who am I to argue! Besides, my friend makes all sorts of cool stuff with matzo meal. Her potato latkes are to die for!

Answer 2

..Sorry, you can only eat the balls, the rest of the matzo (a small cave-dwelling rodent) is inedible and laced with toxins.



For She-Nerd...
Thanks for the complement. However, I have done some additional research and found that the matzo is not, in fact a rodent, but a marsupial. Mainly found in subterranean caves, this distant relative of the opossum, exhibits many characteristics of rodents, yet it is classified as a marsupial.
Native to South and Central America, it is rarely seen due to being a reclusive, nocturnal scavenger.
Additionally, I have contacted several Rabbinical Scholars and have been informed that the matzo, is indeed kosher.

I apologize for my hastily prepared, first answer.
