[Avodah] potato=kitniyot

[Eli Turkel]

HaMoadim Behalacha quotes Nishmat Adam 20 that in the year
tat-kuf-lamed-aleph in the
town of Fiorda there was a famine in Germany and the bet din allowed
Bulbas=Erd-Epfil since in Germany
they dont eat Erd-edfil since they make flour from it and they also
allowed kitnitot but not
Gerofin

BTW given the current economic situation is there anyone today that
allows kitniyot?

In our town's kimchah de-pesicha sent to many local people the
packages included rice and
kitniyot oil
