    I understand it has been impossible (this year) to find kfp hazelnut oil in the US but it is available in Israel.

    I have never had things like this break in my suitcase but I always wrap it carefully and double bag it as a precaution.

    Depending upon where you are located you may not get a good selection of spices (just be careful of kitniyot if you don't use it). If you do eat kitniyot the B&B rice cakes are fantastic since they are fresh and if you don't eat kitniyot on Pesach you can still eat the kfp ones erev Pesach.

      Well, according to Haaretz, locusts are their Pesach foodie promotion....http://www.haaretz.com/blogs/routine-...

      Perhaps a bit in poor taste given what they're doing to farmers, but it'd be different.

        What about nice jams -- the kind sweetened only with fruit and no sugar? Beit Yitzhak usually does a K-P production run.
        Don't know how available those are in the US.

          I always ask for liqueurs.
