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...

ok, let me start by saying sorry, i can never spell hebrew in english correctly and as much as i tell myself that it should look as it sounds and it does, it never really is...

so matzos munching has started and already the shops are poorly equipped to handle the brevity of the bread fast. i refuse to give the names of either establishment i had to endure today because both are grossly inadequate and hence don't deserve the publicity, negative or otherwise! on a certain someones suggestion i left the shop i was in because i didn't recognise any of the brands as being what was usually bought and totted off to inadequate store no.1. nothing. not just nothing as in no matzos of the brand i wanted but no matzos at all, apparently out since sunday (the munching goes on for longer than 2 days bozo) and not even a pesach section, how archaic, how can you not support your consumers need? so back to inadequate store no. 2 to rummage through a selection of names i have never heard of. at least they had a kosher for pesach section...

i have had my first piece and it wasn't bad, not excellent, but not dry and tasteless, so good actually...

good festival to all and try not to overdo it on the vino...
