Reply To: Will you eat Quinoa on Peisach?

You know the story with the Chayei Adam who wanted to asser potatoes and was told, you are taking away the chayei adam, person’s sustenance. The Geonim had no potatoes, so it was not assered even though we can make flower and bake with it. Maybe, a gezeira sh’ein rov hatzibur yecholim laamod bo, a prohibition that the majority cannot stand.
