Wow! That sure is hard to describe, and I've been eating them my whole life. Um, they are fluffy and sort of bland, but you taste the chicken soup that's soaked into them. Maybe like a saltine cracker once you've been chewing on it? It's sort of like describing how dumplings taste--both are made of flour and eggs but the texture is very different. I hope you try them!
Yummy. They taste a bit like the biscuits you would put on top of a stew or casserole, but are lighter because of the Matzo meal used to make them instead of flour.
At their best, they are fluffy and taste of matzo (think crackers) and the chicken broth and a little background of egg. I like to add fresh parsley to mine to add an herbal note. It's not a strong flovor, its more of a comforting flavor.
They're a more delicate version of a dumpling.
