Is Egg Matzo Appropriate for Passover or not?

General rule is that Ashkenazim are not allowed to eat it AT ALL at any point during Passover (except for exceptional cases, e.g. someone is sick and cannot eat regular matza) while Sephardim cannot use it for the Seder.

As an Ashkenazi, I will never eat egg matzah.

As far as your friend is concerned, if he is not a kosher eating Jew the rest of the year, then I doubt he will be offended by getting egg matzah.

Egg matzoh is not appropriate for the seder because Jews are enjoined to eat matzoh resembling, as closely as possible, the bread resembling that was made at the start of the exodus from Egypt, that is: ONLY flour and water made into dough and baked immediately (not more than 18 minutes should pass between wetting the flour and taking the finished product from the oven.)

It depends on how religious you are. Children and the elderly or infirmed are allowed to eat egg matzoh. Healthy adults may not eat egg matzoh on Passover.

"Ashkenazi"/"Sephardi" are overbroad distinctions that are only a guideline for the passover observances. There are many communities whose rabbinic rulings include some characteristics that are commonly called Ashkenaz and some that are commonly called Sephardi.

Best thing to do is ask your friend if he eats the stuff.

Putting any rabbinic decisions aside --

Where I come from, Egg Mazoh was always considered for toddlers and respected elders with serious digestive problems.

Anyone else who eats the stuff was considered "a wuss"

This went well beyond observance -- it was "observed" by those who barely keep any Jewish traditions.

Call it "Jewish cool"

If the matzoh says "kosher for Passover" on the box, its fine.

I'm Ashkenazic and I eat egg matzoh for Passover. I know what it says on the box but that's what we do.

It fine.

The thing to remember is that egg matzo is higher in calories and cholesterol, and since most people's cholesterol and weight goes up during Pesach, you might want to take that under consideration.
