They're not soft, and therefore we can't wrap anything in them.
So some Rishonim say that, no, korech doesn't mean you're supposed to wrap the matzah around the marar.
It means you're supposed to wrap the marar around the matzah.
You try wrapping a piece of horseradish around something.
Obviously, the mara they're assuming is lettuce, that you could wrap it around the matzah.
Now, we passed in that we wrap the matzah around the mara.
And probably what korech meant was that it was a soft matzah, like the svarimit.
Again, this is not a halachic issue.
There's nothing wrong with making a korech sandwich with our matzahs.
We shouldn't lose sight of what the translation of the word is, at least.
You picture the Karbon Pesach when they had Pesach, Matzah, and Marah all together.
It was Korchon B'Yachad.
It meant that they had a shawarma, that they would take a laffah, which is what the Sephardi matzahs look like, and put some lamb in it.
That's the Karbon Pesach and the lettuce for the Marah.
Okay, no hummus, but other than that, it was probably a very delicious shawarma.
I don't know if they had those greasy paper bags underneath it, but okay, but you know, you had a shawarma.
Two more and then we'll stop, unless you have more suggestions.
Another misconception, a lot of people don't realize that when we get to Halil, there is a Tzura to how to say Halil.
Halil was instituted to be said like a Dover Shebek Dusha.
