However, when hubby and I moved to North Carolina, I could no longer get Matzoh crackers and myself, the hubby, and our kids just were miserable without our weekly quotient of Matzoh Brei...I looked in all the grocery stores in North Carolina, and even spoke to the stores managers, who had no idea even what a Matzoh cracker was....
Whenever anyone visited from Chicago, I would ask them to bring us a few boxes of Matzoh crackers...my mom got to the point where she was sending them to me in the mail...
Now all this happened during the 1980s and hopefully today those stores in North Carolina wised up and got some Matzoh crackers....We now live in the Pacific Northwest, and are able to get our Matzoh crackers...and I agree, Matzoh Brei, slathered with melted butter and served with a generous dab of sour cream, is just about heaven....
One time, while in North Carolina, and desperate for some Matzoh Brei, but had no Matzoh crackers, I tried to create it using saltines.....obviously this did not work...Matzoh crackers just absorb the water and puff up...saltines just dissolve in water
