Reply To: Karpas – is any ha’adoma ok?

Gaon – “That very same sefer states that it is indeed NOT kitniyos as we do not have the power to be Gozar new Gezeros. Only what the Gaonim prohibited are included not any new…”

The Gaonim didn’t have peanuts and were never gozer on peanuts (indeed, that is why Reb Moshe ate peanuts on Pessach) yet nearly every yid doesn’t use peanuts on pessach!

So “my nafka mina” between potatoes and peanuts?! – both should equally be kitniyos!
