I've never made it, so I'm not positive *giggle*... but I'm *pretty* sure it
is. Of course that links back to Jerusalem too, where they did/do use
unleavened bread. Everything starts somewhere, doesn't it?... and it
usually ends up linking everyone (no matter what beliefs we hold) together.
;o)

*hugs*
