While the Jews were escaping Egypt, they had little time for the bread to rise, leaving them with Matzoh (Unleaven bread). On Passover, we are talking about what happened in Egypt and leaing Egypt, and we eat Matzoh instead of leaven bread, or anything that has grains, corn syrup, ect in it. All food that contains corn syrup, grains, (like wheat ect), ect are called 'Chomutz (sp?)' and are not allowed to be eaten on Passover. An exception to the grain rule is to Spanish Jews (Who eat rice commonly).
