A Jewish1 family invited their redneck neighbors over for holiday dinner. The first course was set in front of them and their hostess announced, "This is soup made with matzo balls."

Seeing two large matzo balls in the soup, the redneck man was very hesitant to taste this strange looking brew2. The Jewish couple gently urged him to try it. "Just give it a taste. If you don't like it, you don't have to finish it," they said reassuringly3.

Finally, he agreed to give it a try. He dug his spoon in, picked up a small piece of matzo ball with some soup in the spoon, and gingerly tasted it. The usual 'mmmm' sound could be heard coming from somewhere deep in his chest, and he quickly finished the soup.

"I must say, that was quite delicious," he said, "but I was wondering….Are there other parts of the matzo you can eat?"
