Matzah is fantastic, I wish I had more opportunities to have it. The hard, thin, crunchy matzah bread, matzah ball soup, its all great. We used to have it once a year during school lunch, probably for Passover, but I don't really remember when or why. I just remember that it was pretty delicious.

Not jewish (nor religious), I just like it. Its a good snack, pretty much tasteless to me on its own but good for various dips like hummus (mixing cultures/religions a bit) or taramasalata. Good if you want to eat something and not overload on carbs (since its very light). Lasts forever.

In Switzerland they have it most shops, from various brands.

Non-Jewish and British. Personally I really enjoy just slathering it in good butter as a snack - I'd often end up eating a box at a time this way as a growing, ravenous teenager. Not massively healthy, but definitely satiating.

Rakusens is the only brand that's easily available in most supermarkets (but I'm sure if I went to a more Jewish area than where I live they'd have a bigger variety.

If you want to have it more often, it's sold at supermarkets year-round (usually in the ethnic/foreign food area)

Unfortunately, I live in an area where rice is considered “ethnic”.

You can order it online and have it delivered.

Never had the soup, but wanted to. I figure that if I'm already eating soup with crackers, I might as well try soup where cracker is the main point.
