The Hillel Sandwhich
While the English Earl of Sandwich is generally credited for inventing the snack of his namesake, Hillel may have originated it two thousand years ago by combining matzah, a slice of paschal lamb, and a bitter herb. Jews no longer sacrifice and eat the lamb, so the Passover sandwich is only matzah, charoset, and a bitter herb now. This sandwich combines the bread of liberation, a remembrance of the bitterness of slavery, and the sweetness of being able to sit together today and have the seder meal.
Take a piece of matzah and spread both the spicy and sweet whip to make a sandwich.
