Рецепт Carrot Tzimmes
We were bound in Egypt
...and after eating all that matzah on the run, we were bound again. And that's why we eat matzah during Passover.
Then Moses said again "Let my people go!"
And we were given Tsimmes.
But seriuosly, Passover can be hard(er) on the digestive tract than other Jewish holidays. Thank gosh for tsimmes: a sweet mixture of vegetables and other fibrous fruits. My favourite is carrots and prunes.
