[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised to see that in some traditions polenta is KFP.  In ours, anything made from corn is excluded during Passover.

Good lunches include tuna or chicken salad on matzah or wrapped up in lettuce leaves[/quote]

I am always surprised and saddened by how ignorant some of us are about the breadth of traditions that make up Jewish practice. Kitniyot were banned in some European Jewish communities in the Middle Ages. In those communities, kitniyot we’re not central to their diet. Romanians, for example, basically lived on polenta - not banned. Italians being neither Ashkenazi or Sephardi were not subject to a ban. Sephardic rite Jews in European countries were not subject to such a ban. Obviously, Mizrachim were not subject to such a ban - they would have starved. Some orthodox Ashkenazi rabbis in Israel have ruled anyone living in Israel can eat kitniyot. The majority of Jews in Israeli are Mizrachim anyway. The conservative movement ruled several years ago that Ashkenazi conservative Jews could eat kitniyot.
