please understand this is the most devout I've been since I left for college - before then, religion wasn't really a choice - and consequently this is the first time I've really looked into what I can eat during Passover.
this morning I've come to the conclusion that "Ashkenazic" describes Jews who believe God doesn't want you to enjoy food.
@anthracite I mean in general, Sephardic food is worthy of whole really good cookbooks, and what Ashkenazim have going for them is mostly baked goods.
