We’re less than a month away from Passover, and many of us are already dreaming of fluffy matzo balls in our soup.
But like most Jewish traditions, there’s a great debate surrounding matzo balls: That of floaters vs. sinkers.
Last year, our food editor Liza Schoenfien took to Twitter and found that 60 percent of our readers prefer fluffy floaters over heavy sinkers.
I don’t know about you, but 60-40 is too close for my comfort.
Help us settle the debate: Let us know what you think!
It’s time for our annual matzo ball poll: Do you prefer floaters or sinkers in your soup?
