<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear Listmates, I went a little bit crazy today when I visited my local Kosher Food Warehouse now that all the Passover foods are for sale. A real hole-in-the-wall location, but great selection, great prices (for Canada, that is!) Besides finding gluten free gefilte fish, marshmallows, and gift boxed chocolates, I found macaroon cookies, Osem brand instant chocolate & vanilla pudding mixes, Tabatchnick soups (4 different kinds!) and Kineret brand Vegetable Crepes, which I plan to hold onto until the holiday of Shavuot in late spring. As usual, I plan to continue to serve more Sephardic-style foods (food style that evolved from those living in the middle east) at my Passover seder (ceremonial meal), especially now that I have done a whole bunch more reading about jewish holiday foods as served in different lands and finding out that the foods basically evolved around the food ingredients that were most available. In my case, my Passover seder menu must be gluten free (me), dairy free (my daughter in law) and meat free (to accommodate the vegetarians), so Sephardic style foods fit more than Ashkenazik style (which evolved in Russia & Poland). Also, a number of us in Vancouver are sharing the cost of importing a quantity of the Shemura Oat matzah for our own use. (Please listmates, let's not debate the pros & cons of oats again.) Thanks Linda & Betsy and others - I think I speak for many of us that our Passovers are ever so much more enjoyable (& tolerable) since we began sharing our experiences and recipes. Helen in Vancouver
