The final chapter in the 'Recycled' series -
the traditional recipe for Matzo Ball Soup croon-cheese flavour.

lyrics

You take a mother-fuckin' chicken
and you throw it in a pot
You get yourself an onion
and you chop it all up
Fuckin' grab a couple carrots
two stalks of celery
One turnip, one leek
and one handful of fresh fuckin' parsley

(What herbs do we use?)
Picked fresh from the garden of grandma's bush
Cos it's TRADITION
(And what chicken do we use?)
Poultry fresh from Tony the family butcher
Cos it's TRADITION

Two litres of water to the boil
Skim off any of the scum that forms
Add your vegies with pepper and salt
Strain the broth into serving bowls

Nanna made soup for us nearly every week
Especially when she saw that I was in bed sick and
HUNGOVER
from the drinking that I'd done the night before
Had finally caught up now my head was fuckin' sore

(Where did we go every Friday night?)
We went to Nanna's every Friday with the family
Cos it's TRADITION
(And why did we always fight?)
Cos you always got more Matzo balls than me
You fuckin' prick

Hitler came in '33
so grandma moved from Germany
She brought all of her recipes
So now she makes this shit for me

You beat the shit out of two egg whites
Until they're stiff
Then you throw a couple yolks on into the mix
One cup of Matzo meal, with your salt and pepper
Then you throw that shit in your refrigerator

(What salt does Grandma use?)
She uses Kosher salt in all her cooking
Cos it's TRADITION
(And why the fuck can't we eat pork?)
Well I'm not a rabbi, but my guess would be
TRADITION

Roll 'em into balls and drop them into your soup
And let the balls simmer 'till they're all cooked through
Nanna's made this shit since she was five
And she probably will
Until the day that she DIES

Traditioooooon...
