I don’t understand a lot of the substitutes on this list. Many of the things listed are not forbidden on Passover. Why would you need a substitute for semi-sweet chocolate, honey, butter, cream cheese, or my personal favorite: WINE? How much MORE kosher for Passover could you possibly get than wine, for goodness sake?

I can’t speak for the author, but I assume that these substitutes are for people who either need to convert a dairy dish into a pareve one, or who simply may not have, for example, wine on hand. It comes from there, not from the notion that the originals aren’t kosher for Passover.

Your question made me go back to my early married life (back when man was still shechting mammoths), when my husband was getting over hepatitis and we drank only grape juice for a year. It’s so much nicer with wine in my life…

Wow! This is so great! Thank you! You know, in addition to all the other helpful info in this article, I’m thrilled because I’ve been looking for a sweetened condensed milk substitute for the past year and a half!

- thank you, thank you, thank you!
