Breaking the middle matzah and hiding half is a `modern`addition to the Passover seder. Breaking off the piece called the afikomen (meaning dessert) and hiding it was added as a way to keep the interest of the children during the second half of the seder.

What is matzo meal for Jews?
Matza meal is matza that has been ground to the consistency of coarse bread crumbs. Matza meal is used in some cooking. On Passover especially, many people bake and cook with matza meal because it is not feasible to bake a cake in 18 minutes. Matza balls have a lot of matza meal in them, as you can imagine. Not all Jews will use matza meal on passover, however. Some Jews do not eat Gebrukts, matza with liquids on it. They are afraid that maybe there is still some flour that didn't get mixed with water and therefor has not been cooked and can still rise, which is forbidden on Passover. For that reason, some Orthodox Jews will not eat matza with spreads on it, and for the same reason will not eat anything baked with matza meal or any other matza by-product.

Why three pieces of Matzah on the Seder plateera?
One of the 3 pieces of Matza - usually the middle one is used for Yachatz - the 4th part of the Seder - where the middle Matza is broken into 2 uneven pieces. The larger piece is kept for the Afikomen-dessert and the smaller piece - symbolizing Matza as the bread of affliction is kept on the Seder plate. Every meal on a Shabbat and Jewish festival requires 2 whole loaves of bread to be used during HaMotzi - the blessing over bread. Since on Passover bread is substituted with Matza, so we need 2 whole Matzot on the Seder plate. So we need 3 Matzot on the Seder plate: 2 for the HaMotzi, and one to be broken.

What do people normally put on matzah bread?
Matza goes great with many things. My personal favorites are Matza with cream cheese, cream cheese and jellie, and Matza with cheese cooked onto it. Be aware, however, that on Passover some don't put spreads on their matza - called gebrukts, because there might be some flour that didn't get mixed with water, and the spread will make it become chametz.

In a car with manual gearbox, the brake pedal is usually in the middle.

On a standard transmission (stick-shift), the brake is in the middle, with the clutch on the left and accelerator on the right.
