Reply To: What’s the Halacha?

Ubquitin, I’m not sure about the taste, but pretty sure it’s because it is filling. It took the role of sandwiches. I really doubt anyone would take some avocado and a few slices of tomato and call that a lunch.

My point of bringing up the old way, as portrayed in the Gemara, is to show that the Hamotzi was specifically designed for something eaten with other things.
