I'm pretty sure we eat potatos on erev pesach. Even though we use it on the seder plate, it doesn't have to be a potato - people use parsley, celery, onion and who know what else.

I also used to think that we can't eat anything from the kaara erev Pesach.. but in Shevach Hamoadim, it says that we don't eat from the foods that we use to prepare the charoses & marror.

so all these years I couldve had a freakin potato ?!?!?!?!?!! oyyyyyy !!!!!!! Smile

I wonder if this applies to people who use other tihngs for karpas -- or maybe since karpas has different variations then its ok ... hmmm.....

either way ... I'll still be eating my jarred gefilte fish and a slice of tomato tomorrow Smile

I didn't make anything different. DH will be at work until late and it'll just be ds and myself. I'm making plenty of yomtov foods, so that'll be what we eat.

Here it's already erev Pesach and I ate a piece of ocean trout plain cooked in my microwave and a corn on the cob for the last chance of some real good fibre.

Happy pesach all.

oh yes -- I remember feeling like there was NOTHING to eat erev chag... and we werent allowed to have anything that was on teh kaarah - so NO eggs, or potatoes either. So I remember finally having some jarred gefilte fish ... not very appetizing.

!!!!!!

I also grew up like this - and that also meant no apples and no nuts. I still hold to that but I let my kids eat what they want.

I just tell everyone that we keep a chumra: Erev Pesach is a fast day! Oh, and in a little known section of masechta Pesachim, it is written that men and boys are not allowed to open the 'frig and stare at it as if they expected something to have spontaneously generate since the last time they looked.

I make a beef stew with lots of meat, potatoes and carrots (and an onion). It gives everyone a filling lunch so they are not starved all day.

thats a smart ideas -- making a big stew.. I think we're so wrapped up in cooking for the sedarim and meals that we kind of forget about erev pesach. A big stew - or chicken dish is a good idea for late in teh day to keep everyone full until its time for the seder ....

My mother always had a big pot of sweet and sour chicken and meatballs eruv Pesach.
We ate cheese latkes and boiled red potatoes and yogurt.

I always make a shephards pie and vegetable kugal for this afternoon. It's easy, fulling, and healthy. Potatoe kugal, liver...are also served by people today.
