Charoset? I don’t know. I have a Jewish friend who can’t make up her mind what it’s for.

I think it’s for the bitter herbs.

She is acting funny today. LOL

We called another Maccabee and he says it’s the Maror.

Whatever. I just love the food, the prayers and traditions.

Now that I think of it, most people can’t make potato latke’s that don’t taste like ground up stone and just as heavy.

I could Wasabi and it would instantly make them edible. Yum!

Why is this night different from all the others?

Same friend as above is the only person who makes latkes that aren’t just edible or tasty. They are light, fluffy and just delicious!

She makes them better than anyone. Can’t wait til next month.

The maror (bitter herbs) represents the bitterness of the Israelites' suffering in Egypt. The Charoset is a sweet apple mixture and represents something else.

And as for latkes, there are two different kinds. There are the ones made with potato flour into regular looking pancakes, and then there are those made from shredded potato, an egg, and a couple of tablespoons of flour. They come out tasting more like hash browns. I love hash browns (and most anything else fried) so I personally prefer those kind of latkes. But everybody has their different tastes and some folk's latkes are better than others.... :-)

Sounds like your friend found a good recipe for the flour ones!
