"[...] This concept of seder is no different for kabbalistic
Oreo-eating. Which should come first? A straightforward bite into the
whole cookie? Should one first break apart the two sandwich halves and
concentrate on the creme? One can postulate that if white represents
purity and goodness, and black evil and darkness, then perhaps one
should eat the white first, as an example of the yetzer hatov triumphing
over the yetzer hora? Or should one save the best for last, so to speak,
by first destroying, via consumptive powers, the Darkness (the cookie
part) and be left only with Light (the creme)? Or perhaps, this sort of
binary weltanschauung is not healthy at all it may be preferable to take
the centrist position and bite into the intact cookie, representing the
real-world mix of good and bad, light and dark, moderation versus
extremism. [...]" -- Owain F. Carter,

unknown origin.
