It's a lot easier being Jewish now. Just about any treat can be found with the kosher-for-Passover marking, including beer! So, while we still can't eat bacon, we can numb the pain when Aunt Sophie asks us why we're still not married at the seder table.

Kosher Lays potato chips.

Kosher Coke and Diet Coke is back.

Kosher honey... from Jewish bees?

Forget Manischweitz, this is real Italian vino -- hat happens to be kosher for Passover.

The only kosher for Passover brewery in the U.S., Ramapo Valley beers are available at many Whole Foods.
