Introduction

The 8-day holiday Passover commemorates the Jewish people leaving slavery from Egypt. The amount of matzah you would have to eat to fulfill the obligation of eating matzah is, wait for it, the amount of food that counts as having eaten food. Do you ever lick the spoon to try batter just before you put a cake in the oven? Oh yeah, obviously. Or sneak a finger full of frosting from the base of a cake. So is that count as eating? Have you ever had a girlfriend who maybe takes one-eighth of your smoothie when you ordered a smoothie just for yourself?
