Followed by a veggie pot-luck: but since this is PASSOVER, only bring fruit or vegetable salads (with no wheat or bulgar or kasha or anything of the sort and no dressings that contain vinegar unless it is specified to be kosher-for-passover, i.e. not derived from wheat) or fruit salads. ALSO OK: food that comes with a Kosher-for-Passover seal that we can see (not the phony Passover-Style that they sell in some stores to trick the innocent), or food from kitchens that are 100% Kosher-for-Passover according to the tradition (including made in pots or pans that have been ritually cleansed for Passover and on dishes that have not previously been used with any wheat derivative). Egg based dishes are fine, and any vegetarian anything is fine as long as you don't buy it in the store, but make it yourself (because if you get it at a store they may have mixed in vinegar which is made usually unless otherwise explicity specified from a wheat base--which is also true of most liquor and all beer). But that leaves so many wonderful vegetarian casseroles, salads, fruit salads, etc. that you could make, not to mention tzimmes, potato kugel, sweet potato mix,
eggplant everything, mushroom everything--just no lasagne or other noodles, and if you use canned or bottled tomato sauce, be sure that it doesn't have vinegar in it. You could make apple sauce, but if you buy it, make sure it doesn't have vinegar or other additives that may have ultimately derived from, slept with, dated, been roommates with, or even classmates with, or been best friends with a leavening agent or wheat derivative.
