Passover - supermarkets already ready?

[cherylp3]

I was in Publix the other day and they already had their passover foods setup.

This surprised me since passover isn't until April 2nd. Anyone else have early Passover displays?

I was in our local grocery store today and saw all of the Passover stuff too. I was also surprised although it nice to have grocery stores acknowledge Passover and have food for it. I remember when I was lucky to get a box of Matzoh and that was it (and I'm not that old...)

I guess it is time to get out my Passover recipes

Yupp, Wegman's here n Maryland has Passover stuff out already, too. they have a sign posted that stuff won't be re-ordered, so buy it now. Some stuff I buy early, but the bakery stuff needs to wait. Can't believe it really is only a month away.

I have a wicked fruit and matzoh kugel recipe if anyone is interested. Anyone else have good recipes they want to share?

Well I noticed yesterday Meijer has all of their Easter stuff on display...I've never seen a passover display. Maybe not in the midwest?

I saw Passover items at Costco today!

Is Passover Coke the same as Dublin Dr.Pepper? (Texas thing)

 

[Poohnatic]

YES! Passover Coke is back!

SWEET!!!!! Off to Publix I go! Wegman's was awesome about this up north-got chummy with the Coke rep that restocked the Dulles store at night. Kosher Pepsi isn't nearly as good.

I saw it already in our suepermarket last week, They normally have a whole section of sale items all together so you don't have to search for everything all over the store but now it is all passover stuff.

Here you go...

Ingredients:
4 cups matzoh farfel (1 box)
2 16 oz cans sliced peaches
1/2 cup + 2Tbsp margarine
8 large eggs
1/2 tsp nutmeg
8 oz plain yogurt
8 oz cottage cheese with pineapple
1/2 cup walnuts
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp sugar

Directions:
Preheat over to 350. Grease a 13X9 inch baking dish.
Reserve 1/4 cup farfel for topping.
In large bowl, combne the rest of the farfel with 1 1/2 cups warm water. Set aside.

Drain peaches, cut each slice into 3-4 pieces. Reserve 1/2 cup peaches.

Melt 1/2 cup margarine. Pour into large bowl. With wire whisk, beat in eggs, nutmeg, and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir in yogurt, cottage cheese, and peaches. Fold into soaked farfel until blended. Pour into baking pan. Sprinkle wih remaining peaches.

Melt 2Tbsp margarine. Into margarine, stir walnuts, cinnamon, 1 Tbsp sugar, and reserved farfel. Evenly sprinkly over kugel.

Bake 40-45 minutes until kugel is slightly puffed and set. Serves 16.

**I have to add that this has never served 16 at my house because ppl always go back for more. I generally make at least 2 of these, and keep one as an easy breakfast for during the rest of the holiday.

Our local stores seem to be running their Purim specials and Passover stuff together. It's all in the "seasonal" aisle of the Shop-Rite near us. I'm happy to see some of my favorite stuff stocked up again, and I'm not even Jewish! (I'll definitely be making the fruit and matzo kugel--yum!)
