Matzah pizza

Created by Notecardforfree (talk). Self-nominated at 23:48, 6 April 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol confirmed.svg Newly created and just large enough for DYK purposes. Extensively sourced. I have no preference on the hooks, they're both good. Spot checks show no copy vio issues. Miyagawa (talk) 09:18, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping thank you very much for the prompt review! I am going to move this nomination to the special occasion holding area so that it can be saved for April 22. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 22:47, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
  • I should also note that my preference is for ALT1. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 22:51, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping I also prefer ALT1, but I'm wondering why Roman soldiers would eat matzah? Do you have any scholars that make this claim, aside from the Abba Eban claim? Yoninah (talk) 22:05, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping upon further investigation, it looks like Abba Eban is the only source I could find that mentions Matzah being eaten by Roman soldiers, though it's likely that Roman soldiers ate the various middle-eastern flatbreads that have been been popular for thousands of years. For a fascinating discussion of the origins of pizza, see this article, which cites a number of scholars who trace the origins of pizza to either kosher-for-Pesach flatbreads eaten by Roman Jews or to other paschal flatbreads (there is also a fascinating discussion of the shared history and etymology of "pizza" and "pita"). In any event, I clarified this in the article, and I have struck ALT1. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 22:58, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping thank you. I reorganized the presentation, and feel that the whole section about Origins belongs in Pizza, not here. Perhaps you can rework this so it fits? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:48, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping per your suggestion, I moved the information about the origins of pizza to history of pizza. I also added some information about recipes for matzah pizza to bring the article over the 1,500 character minimum. Thanks so much for your advice and feedback.
