Although its usually served on the Jewish Sabbath, I can't serve the traditional version of the dish pictured below at my Seder dinner because it features a product made from flour. Do you know what this dish is called?
I was wasting my time on checking out YouTube when I came across this video clip from Buy Me That! an old 1980s special that taught kids the tricks in advertising.
