It’s made from 1,000 eggs, 80 pounds of margarine
and a whole lot of matzo meal. Eat it if you dare .And yes it was made with 200
pounds of Matzo meal and 20 pounds of chicken base. So it can just leave you to
smack your lips. It’s arguably the
world’s largest matzo ball and it weighs in at 267 pounds, and is 29.2 inches
across. This mouthful was created to raise money for a charity game between the
New York Knicks and Israeli basketball team Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv.
The massive matzo was cooked up for nearly 20 hours in a custom-made 100-gallon
kettle in New Jersey. The giant culinary creation was cut into smaller
pieces and doled out to diners at the Good Companions Senior Center on Madison
Street, a provider of low-cost kosher lunches and fitness programs.
Noam Sokolow, owner of the restaurant Noah’s Ark , who
directed the planning and "deli development" of the largest Matzo Ball
, said that the culinary caper was an attempt to realize the impossible
task. He also admitted that although the eatery has been voted as the
best for its beef sandwich in the
United States that did not satisfy their quest for success. Their dreams were
big enough and wanted to achieve something that helps more than an appetite. They aimed
at something much larger than life which come of great help to humanity. They
had a philanthropic intention in mind so they went on a mega scale to reach out
to more children who are in a vulnerable stage.
By creating the largest Matzo ball they set an extraordinary standard to help the
needy . The Migdal Ohr which
is the world’s largest orphanage situated in Northern Israel is a home to more than
7000 orphaned, impoverished and under privileged kids. Sokolow organized the
big Matzo ball and the big basket ball game to raise money for the welfare of
those kids.
The largest Matzo ball
weighed 267 pounds measured 29.2
inches was set by Noam Sokolow owner of Noah’s Ark Original Deli at New York, United States of America on August
8, 2009.
