Aye.  Even so, every time I opine at Seder that the "bread of affliction" of
our ancestors probably resembled pita more than modern matzot, my father
gives me a dirty look.  Practically part of the family ritual now, much like
my brother delivering the Four Questions and Dad beginning the answer with
"Funny you should ask!"

Other quirky family rituals, anyone?

Meanwhile:  I kept some of the charoses/haroset recipes that people posted
last year.  Any more documentably period ones?  I want to blow my family
away with historical goodness.
