Dear Listmates,
 
I thought I would forward this information for the benefit of anyone  
celebrating their first G.F. Passover.  Several posts have mentioned the  G.F. oat 
matzah produced by a rabbi in England, then shipped wherever.  I  had a call 
from the person in Baltimore who is the distributor for my area  (Richmond).  The 
cost this year, per box of about 10-12 matzos is $27,  excluding shipping!
 
I ordered them for about 3 years when they were about $17/box, plus  
shipping.  I was able to tag my box on to the order of someone else in my  area and 
save on the shipping.  One year I split a box with someone and had  just enough 
for both seders and some matzah brei (matzah pancake).  As to  their taste - I 
certainly wouldn't be able to eat 2-3 pieces with butter and jam  or cheese 
as I used to with wheat matzah - incidentally, that last Passover of  my former 
life, with all the matzah and matzah balls, was the beginning of my  real 
sickness that led to my being hospitalized and diagnosed almost a year  later.  
However, they do have the appearance, smell and very similar taste  to the 
wheat version.    Most importantly, they are certified  gluten free and certified 
kosher by the Manchester (UK) Beth Din for  Passover.
 
The Matzos are produced by Rabbi E. Kestenbaum, 22 Eagle Lodge, London  
NW11-8BD, England.
The lady who has shipped them to my area is Karen Beleck, Phone: 410  
358-9580.  I believe there's a web site for Rabbi Kestenbaum where he lists  
distributors in other places.
 
Hope this information is helpful.  Happy Pessach to all!
Sandy, Richmond, VA
