A WORD FROM BUBBE
(YIDDISH FOR GRANDMOTHER)…
I do most of the shopping at a wholesale store like Costco or
Sam’s Club. During Passover season you should not have a
problem finding macaroons and matzo ball soup mix. Out of
season, you may have to shop at a local supermarket. If your store
doesn’t carry these items and you live near a Jewish community
I recommend shopping in a market in that neighborhood.
Traditionally, some of you may be familiar with certain foods that
are associated with Passover. Some folks will serve gefilte fish or
chopped liver. However, since most people are not accustomed to
these foods and as they are not a part of the ceremonial time of
the Seder, I do not include them. They are an acquired taste, and
can be pricey. I substitute a salad instead.
