I suppose my mother is technically correct in referring to matzoh brie as "scrambled eggs and crackers", but I still relate to it as I would to french toast, which is to say that I eat it with jam instead of bacon. This is primarily significant as I've been known to have bacon on my garden burgers, which tends to confuse waitpeople. While I celebrate most food-related aspects of my jewish heritage, particularly the ones involving blintzes, latkes, and the whole line of traditional soups, I don't believe in self-denial for purposes of righteousness, and gave up bacon only very briefly while working as a cook, when the chef handed me a section of pork belly to slice into bacon strips and I couldn't because it had nipples and that was just too creepy.

Personally, I've always enjoyed my matzoh brie (pronounced like "bright" without the "t", so as not to confuse you goyisha cheese-lovers out there) with a heapin' helpin' of sugar, and my bacon nipple-less.
