I would like to state unequivocally that it is forbidden to eat any
Kitniyos on Erev Pesach from the same time one may not eat Chomets. For
Ashkenazim Kitniyos is as stringent as Chomets. It was with great
trepidation that some of the Rabbonim relaxed some of the laws of
Kitniyos during a famine otherwise it is totally forbidden.<br><br>

Second, the fact that the Shulchan Oruch in Siman 444 in Hilchos
Pesach endeavours to find different options of how one is to observe the
Mitsvah of Sholosh Seudos when Erev Pesach is on Shabbos and no Shulchan
Oruch brings the option of eating Kitniyos. Obviously there is no
such option.<br><br>
Most important the Chok Yaakov chapter 471 Seif Beis rules that it is
forbidden to eat Kitniyos then. So too paskens the Maharsham in his
earlier Sefer Daas Torah chapter 453.<br>

Conclusion no leading Posek says one may eat sushi and kitniyos on
Erev pesach. Indeed Rabbi Vosner in Shevet Halevi says that one is
totally forbidden to eat Kitniyos on Erev Pesach, and says one shouldn?t
consider any leniency then. If anyone does they are breaching the fence
of Yiddishkeit.<br><br>
Let us all have a Kosher and freilicher Pesach and merit the coming of
Moshiach now.<br><br>

On the other hand the following is from
<a href="http://www.kashrut.com/Passover/Erev_Passover/" eudora="autourl">
http://www.kashrut.com/Passover/Erev_Passover/</a> <br><br>
Products containing <b>matzoh meal</b> that are <b>baked</b> (e.g. matzoh
meal cake) may not be eaten all day Erev Pesach. Kosher for Passover
matzoh meal products that are cooked (e.g. knaidlach) may be eaten until
the beginning of the 10th halachic hour of the day - three halachic hours
before sunset. <br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Thus it is clear that there is a
real difference between eating gebrokts and eating kitniyos on
Pesach. One is most certainly allowed to eat certain gebrokts food
Erev Pesach until the 10th halachic hour whereas one is not allowed to
eat kitniyos "on Erev Pesach from the same time one may not eat
Chomets." Furthermore, the statement, "For
Ashkenazim Kitniyos is as stringent as Chomets. It was with great
trepidation that some of the Rabbonim relaxed some of the laws of
Kitniyos during a famine otherwise it is totally forbidden."
certainly does not mince any words.</font></blockquote><br>
Thus all attempts by some to suggest on Areivim that there be a Kitnyos
Anonymous corresponding to Gebrokts Anonymous seem to me to be missing
the point that eating gebrokts on Pesach is absolutely permitted and
whereas eating kitnyos on Pesach for Ashkenazim is absolutely
forbidden.<br><br>
