or the junk food junkie,
Passover can be death.
Since most junk food con-
tains flour (think cookies
and snack cakes) or corn syrup
(most candy), it is generally off lim-
its during those eight days. This
leaves little for noshing.
Thank the lord Passover is only
eight days long, for during that
time the junkies, myself included,
desperately seek ways to pass the
time and avoid thinking of Drake's
cakes or Butterfingers bars. Some,
teetering on the brink of insanity,
apparently will turn to pondering
new flavors of macaroons in an at-
tempt to assuage their Jones for
junk.
That is clearly what happened
at the world's manufacturers of
macaroons this season, for there
has been a veritable explosion of
new macaroon flavors, enough to
make any mouth almost water.
Aside from the traditional al-
mond and chocolate, food engi-
neers and other junkies have
dreamt up new flavors to take the
kosher-for-Passover consumer
where he has never gone before.
Other companies, looking to ex-
pand their markets during this
season and perhaps convert
healthy eaters to more wicked
ways, have added supervision to
their products.
Cape Cod Potato Chips, made
in Hyannis, Mass., has had su-
pervision for its products for all
but one of the 16 years in business.
Kosher-for-Passover supervision
has been off and on, said compa-
ny spokesperson Nicole Bernard.
