Matzo major forms of matzo. In many western countries the most common form is the hard form of matzo which is cracker-like in appearance and taste and is used in all Ashkenazic and most Sephardic communities. Yemenites, and Iraqi Jews traditionally made a form of soft matzo which looks like Greek pita or like a tortilla. Soft matzo is made only by hand, and generally with "shmurah" flour. Flavored varieties of matzo are produced commercially, such as poppy seed- or onion-flavored. Oat and spelt matzo with kosher certification are produced. Oat matzo is generally suitable for those who cannot eat gluten.

In Yiddish, there is a saying: מיר צוגרייטן די טיש און עסן די פיש which means "We set the table and eat the fish". The "afikoman", which was hidden earlier in the Seder, is traditionally the last morsel of food eaten by participants in the Seder. Each
