has it risen?

does anyone have any reasonable authority on the what not to's over pesach? i realise that much matzah munching is required but what of other things?

can you eat cute fluffy sweet delicious little mirringgue's (meringues)? are rotti's acceptable? do you sit on the eating of rice fence? what of pasta? cake is obviously a no no which goes for biscuits and other deliciousness ... pizza? i am hazerding toward a no here too...

i need real authority not just a no you cant. i understand the reasoning for bread, the symbolism attempting to be achieved, but if you look at the matzah, is there really a difference between it and a rotti? so why not the rotti and if not the rotti then what with a curry?

to date i have followed the rule to a letter and not knocked down a single fence that i know of in the abstinence of the bread variety and stuck with all that is unrisen but there are unanswered questions that cant be ignored - like why i have to decline a delicious salomi when it is made from the same stuff that the matzah is made of?

tonight is the end of the risen foods segregation from the diet and it hasn't been so hard being that i don't eat bread anyhooo but not to eat rotti and curry, that has been killer...
