One of our favourite Passover rituals

Bunch parents of the Jewish persuasion cite the search for hametz by candlelight, and it’s subsequent burning in a bonfire of starchy glory, as a thrilling childhood memory. Therefore, please note that the correct date for performing this Passover ritual with your bunch is TONIGHT.

Apparatus: Ten pieces of bread or other hametz (carbs), a candle or flashlight, a bag, a feather.

Methodology:
Hide the ten pieces of hametz in sneaky places around your house. Wait until dark.
Turn off the lights, light the candle or flashlight. Search your home for the pieces of hametz, when you find one,  sweep it into the bag with the feather.
When all ten pieces have been discovered, burn the hametz.

Happy Passover from Bunch!
