A Jewish family invited their Gentile neighbor for holiday dinner. The first course was set in front of him, and when he looked puzzled, the Jewish couple explained, “This is matzoh ball soup.”
On seeing the two large matzoh balls in the soup, the Gentile man was hesitant to taste this strange looking brew. Gently, the Jewish couple pressed the Gentile man. “Just have a taste. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to finish it.”
Finally he agreed. He gingerly sliced off a tiny nibble of the matzoh ball with his spoon, and tasted it carefully. He was so pleased that he quickly finished the soup.
“That was delicious,” he said. “Say, can you eat any other parts of the matzoh?”
