Maror - Bitter Herb/Horseradish Recipes
Maror is a bitter herb eaten during the Passover Seder. From family to family the bitter herb eaten always varies. Some eat horseradish, others eat romaine lettuce or endives. In my house we use fresh grated horseradish, which is not easy to make without crying all over the place, but hey we're supposed to remember the tears!
