Jews ate their bread flat because they were in a hurry and had no time to wait for the bread to rise.
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.
We call it matza, which is its name in the Torah (Exodus ch.12).
Matza, or matzah, is unleavened bread traditionally eaten during Passover in Jewish culture. Its significance lies in commemorating the Israelites' hasty departure from Egypt, which did not allow time for their bread to rise. Matza symbolizes humility and the fragility of life, reminding Jews of their ancestors' struggles and the importance of freedom. Additionally, it plays a central role in the Passover Seder, where it is used to fulfill the commandment of eating unleavened bread during the holiday.
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.

The holiday of Passover isn't a morality story.
The Torah (Exodus ch.12) specifies matzoh, bitter hers and the meat of the pesach-sacrifice. Other foods are not mentioned, but wine, vegetables and fruits were probably on the menu.
Passover is celebrated today in order to commemorate the exodus from Egypt and celebrate the liberation of the Israelites from slavery. The Jews eat Matza as a holiday symbol because the Israelites who walked in the desert for 40 years, could not wait until the bread rises.
Answer: The Koran does not contain the story of the Passover.
They sit like any one normally would, aside from a few occasions at the seder. When eating the Matza and drinking the four cups of wine, Jews recline to their left.
