Passover Fact 8

You may think, having looked at all of these photos and read the ramblings that Passover is all about food. Actually this isn’t the case, it’s just that the food seems to take over your every waking thought. From not being able to have your usual breakfast to wondering at what point the matzahs are going to make your insides explode.
Getting side-tracked by food really does take away from the religious and spiritual aspects of Passover. The handing down of the story of the exodus from parent to child amongst other things. But when the hammer falls on the final day, there isn’t much that will keep me from packing away the Passover crockery for another year and stacking it up in the garage in time to leg it to the local take-away for some real food. Usually we ease ourselves back in to leavened product by having a pizza but this year I was down to my local Fish and Chip emporium, the fine Ideal Fish Bar in Pinner.
I had my order in 15 minutes before Passover ended, so I could be back home with supper on the table with no time wasted. To say that was probably the finest meal I’d had in a week, might have been an understatement.
Roll on Passover 2011!
