Passover or
Pesach is a Jewish festive which celebrates the exodus of the Israelite
people.
Passover will
be celebrated from March 27 until April 4. with the seders after nightfall on
March 27 and 28.
the name Passover comes
from the tenth plague. The plaque insists of god killing all the firstborn
Egyptian children but passing over the Jewish houses.
Because the isrealites left
so fast, the bread did not have time to rise. Because of this, Jews will get
rid of all chametz in their houses and cannot eat any chametz from the midday
before the festive and until the end of the festive. Chametz are food with
leaven whitch contains a trace of wheat, barley, rye, oats or spelt.
Passover is divided into
two parts: the first and the last two days of the festive are full-fledged
holidays where candles are lit, and holiday meals are eaten, and work is forbidden.
The other four days are semi-festive days where work is permitted.
The first two night are
seder. A seder consists of numerous steps:
-Eating
matzah.
-Eating
bitter herbs to commemorate the bitter slavery endured by the Israelites.
-Drinking
four cups of wine or grape juice, a royal drink to celebrate our newfound
freedom.
-The
recitation of the Haggadah, a liturgy that describes in detail the story of the
Exodus from Egypt. (chabad.org, z.d.)
What would Robert Frost say about McDonald's burgers? Probably:
Natures first burger is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early beefs a flower; But only so an hour. Then beef subsides to beef. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.
But that's not true. Some gold things can stay, like this 25-year-old Quarter Pounder from Australia. It literally does not rot, just like the 10-year-old McDonald's cheeseburger people were talking about last week (which, by the way, has a livestream). The 10-year-old burger is from Iceland, and had a home in the National Museum of Iceland before being put on display in a hotel. But now, this Aussie Quarter Pounder has taken center stage.
It all started in 1995. According to 7 News, a visitor of South Australia named Johnno asked his friends Casey Dean and Eduard Nitz to hold onto his Quarter Pounder until he returned to see them again. Nitz threw it in a cabinet and paid it no mind. And so it sat, lonely and preserved, for years (relatable).
Eventually, Nitz passed the burger onto his sister when he left Australia, and she took it along with her for her own travels. The public was not informed of the burger's whereabouts during this time. The beefy vampire resurfaced in 2015, when Casey Dean made a Facebook page called "Can This 20 Year Old Burger Get More Likes Than Kanye West?"
"If this burger can't break down in the natural elements, what sort of havoc are we wreaking on our bodies to process them?" Our food and news writer Kat Thompson asked last week. It's an excellent question, that has been somewhatanswered online -- there is no nutrition. The McDonald's burgers of yore were chemical, and so did not rot.
We should note that a McDonald's Quarter Pounder is made of fresh beef nowadays, meaning the gold will not stay anymore. No sponsorship, tho

a big, uneasly openable yellow capsule, and the package shows clearly not to
give the eggs at children under three years.
