There is always too much chometz and never enough narf in Purim baskets.

My wife insists on giving only kosher l'pesach packaged goods in her baskets - fresh baked goods that must be eaten or thrown out in a week are ok, but anything good for the long term must be kosher l'pesach. I always thought she was crazy, but it looks as though she might be on to something.

Well, I answered 'all of the above', as I like chocolate and baked goods, either with or without fruit :-), and figure there is likely always too much chametz this close to Pesach. And, as already noted, never enough narf, at any time.

(Mind you, while I thought I knew the meanings of the terms (chametz and Pesach), I looked them up just to be sure. I was right, but the need to look them up likely says something about my answers :-)

Second question query: did you intend to be asking about what I'm giving, or what I enjoy receiving?

(I concur with the others about the significant paucity of Narf! in mishloach manot in general.)

We always gave little bottles of kosher for passover grape juice, but we also gave unshelled peanuts, raisins and oranges so I guess it balanced out. Also, hamantashen.

Frailecha purim!

In my mind, those little monolith-shaped sesame-brittle candies are traditional. Is that just in my family?

Here, these are the ones I'm talking about.

I think of those as one of my mom's favorite "special candies for Passover."

You know how I feel about the egg shape :).

It's not like there's a huge call for cross-shaped chocolate (at least not where I shop -- I presume if I went to the uber-Christian store I could find some -- though they did not have godmother birthday cards when I had to hunt for one of those, so perhaps not).

Oh, and in addition to my beloved peanut butter eggs, the Dove Truffle eggs? Also Kosher. See the sacrifices I make for you :).
