would be a wonderful variety of
all kinds of Passover candy.
I would guess that it was the
1970s that ushered in another
now-essential Passover food item:
the Passover cake mix. Over the
years I have perfected my baking
technique (knowing exactly how
many drops of water it takes to
get the frosting just right is just
one of my culinary talents), and
I cannot imagine getting through
the holiday without the tradi-
tional making of the chocolate
cake. And, as of the late 1980s,
this ritual has become even eas-
ier — I can now buy a Passover
cake mix made especially for the
microwave!
The early 1990s brought inno-
vation to the morning meal, with
the introduction of the Passover
breakfast cereal. You can now
have your choice of fruit-flavored,
cocoa-flavored, or plain, in a va-
riety of crispy little shapes. And
to think of all the years that I sur-
vived on farfel and milk.
Which brings me to the current
food-shopping season. I call this
the year of the kosher for
Passover pizza mix, in recogni-
tion of yet another amazing prod-
uct designed to fill a hitherto
unaddressed dietary need. In-
deed, the variety- of Passover food
items this year appears to be
greater than ever, as a walk
down the supermarket's Passover
aisle will attest. And what I find
most intriguing is that virtually
all of these products have been
created, distributed and market-
ed for a consumption period that
lasts just eight days.
When, as a child, I would re-
turn home from Passover shop-
ping with my exotic candy
treats, my older brother would
say, "If we manage to get along
all year without chocolate lol-
lipops and coconut-covered
marshmallows, why is it neces-
sary that we have them on
Passover?" I suppose the same
can be asked about many of the
food items mentioned above. But
to me the answer is really quite
obvious. After all, man cannot
live by matzah alone. ❑
