The Gentile and the Matzoh

A Jewish family invited their gentile neighbors for a holiday dinner. The first course was set in front of them and the Jewish couple announced, "This is matzoh ball soup."

On seeing the 2 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 agrees. He digs his spoon in, first picking up a small piece of matzoh ball with some soup in the spoon, and tasting it gingerly. Then, a "mmmm" sound of appreciation can be heard, and he quickly finished the soup.

"That was delicious," he said. "Can you eat any other parts of the matzoh?"
