MATZS'MORES: THEY'RE GR-R-REAT


Pesadiggeh s'mores! From the Herald Gazette (Camden, Maine): " Last Saturday evening, a group of birthday celebrants gathered for an annual spring bonfire and barbecue. Jewish partygoers, who were still celebrating the eight-day festival of Passover, discovered a new taste sensation, the matzs'mores. As one might guess, it takes the familiar chocolate and fire-roasted marshmallow, and sandwiches them between two pieces of matzoh."

Mollie's reaction: It sounds better than graham crackers now that I've learned on the Net about the fermisht inventor: "Graham crackers were originally marketed as Dr. Graham's Honey Biskets and were conceived of as a health food as part of the Graham Diet, a regimen to suppress what he considered unhealthy carnal urges, the source of many maladies according to Graham. Reverend Graham would often lecture about the adverse effects of masturbation, or "self-abuse" as he called it. One of his many theories was that one could curb one's sexual appetite by eating bland foods. Another man who held this belief was Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the inventor of the corn flakes cereal."

I prefer oatmeal. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
