Haroset and horseradish, Strauss
Two of the anchors of the Seder night table are returning to the shelves, and to the refrigerators, with well-calculated timing, and justified.
First, the bright red box of Achla, in its role as a narrative bitter herb, with flavors of cooked beet and a characteristic kick from the horseradish, on the way to the ultimate holiday spread. Alongside it, a limited edition of haroset from Yad Mordechai - ostensibly the mortar of the Children of Israel, and in practice a sweet mixture of dates - grape must - grapes - nuts, delicate cinnamon and clove seasoning, and great joy.
