...taste. “You can only eat so much matza because it begins to taste like cardboard,” Denenberg notes. That’s why he creates a HUDS matza pizza using organic pasta sauce and cheese, because after all “matza tastes like crust.” Valkin, for his part, uses peanut butter to symbolize the mortar our fathers used to build the pyramids, creating a “PB-and-matza or PBJ-and-matza,” to fend off the forty-years-march lethargy.

With every passing fraction of a second, the pizza loses...

John became a Queen's Counsel, married the daughter of an ambassador to Bulgaria and devotes himself to charities for Bulgarian children because, he says, "Who wants to be the richest corpse in the graveyard?" But he hasn't lost his corrosive upper-crust wit: "I reckon if I shoot the horses, shoot the wife, and only drink Bulgarian wine, I may be able to retire at age 94 or something...
