I'm so very disappointed in Whole Foods Market's matzah ball soup. Yesterday was Passover, and this year I shirked my wifely duty in making the traditional Jewish soup from scratch, eager to save time and energy by picking up a house-made version from the nearest Gold Coast WF by my work. I figured it would be fabulous and fabulously expensive, just like all their other prepared foods. I was wrong.
The matzah balls were incredibly dense, uncommonly chewy, and of a strange brown color probably attributed to some holistic/healthful/vegan/organic/whole wheat ingredient that yuppie WFers eat up the way kids do with candy. The chicken broth was delicious and flavorful, but the technique of the matzah balls was all wrong. If only WF knew about my secret ingredient of club soda which helps to aerate the sticky dough, infusing a pleasing light, spongy texture...
I have to agree with our out-of-town guest at dinner who remarked, "The Israelis could chuck a few of these at Palestine!"
Next year I'll just stick with the coconut macaroons.
