Untitled[edit]

A single recipe, properly cited, should not violate copyright. --Goodoldpolonius2 06:46, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Page cleanup[edit]

I've changed some perplexing claims in the article. I do know where the author got the idea that "matzah, eggs, oil and water" are the main cooking ingredients available during Passover ( don't Jews get scurvy every spring?), or that one's Shabbat observance has any effect on one's perception of matzo ball soup. Just weird. Flourdustedhazzn 09:56, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In any case, it would take more than 8 days to get scurvy.

Gebruchts to Gebrochts?[edit]

since the hyperlink at Gebruchts leads to an article titled Gebrochts, should the spelling be changed in this article? Does Wikipedia like that sort of standardization?Richardson mcphillips1 20:55, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling Consistency[edit]

Both "matzo" and "matzah" are used in this article. According to the Wikipedia style manual, a consistent spelling is preferable. I am inclined to change all instances of matzo to matzah in order to match the title of the article. Anyone else have any suggestions? 24.98.26.139 (talk) 18:52, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Worse is that the Matzo article is spelled the other way :( —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 08:32, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Need disambiguation: American Jewish parties near Xmas[edit]

Matzah balls are also American Jewish parties held on or near Christmas, ofter singles events. This terminology is very widely used in the American Jewish community, and this phenomenon probably deserves an article of its own.

Hoax section removed[edit]

I have removed a section, input by an IP, about how "early morning consumption of matzah ball soup may have detrimental effects." The list of speakers at the "Food for Your Whole Life" symposium referred to is available on-line and the speaker cited is not on it. JohnCD (talk) 12:39, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Similar dish in other Eastern European cuisines?[edit]

I am a longtime matzo ball connoisseur, and have been told by a Lithuanian friend that there is an identical dumpling in Lithuanian cuisine, known as "kleckas" in at least some regional dialects of Lithuanian. I couldn't find any other information about this term online. Does anyone know anything about it and how it's related to matzo balls? Moxfyre (ǝɹʎℲxoɯ | contrib) 03:40, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
