BUT --- 'Matzoh Balls'??? They would gag a Southern maggot, that's for sure. However, I HAVE used them as trotline bait when fishing for catfish. And the bottom-scavenging catfish seem to LOVE them! Why the last time I went catfishin' in Arkansas, using that matzoh ball (we call them dough balls in the South) bait, we caught over 85 pounds of catfish.

Not to mention they are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I can't tell you how many times I have stumbled in there at 4 am to demolish a matzo ball soup and pastrami on rye.
