Passover food

[Heaven]

Anyone know where you can get a list of products you can't eat during passover/unleavened bread. Things with leaven in them.
I can only seem to find lists that are from overseas and have different products we don't have. hmmm...
I'm not very knowledgeable about what's in the food I eat, lol, so I need some kind of list to guide me.

oohh...okay, I found this site for anyone interested: http://www.kosher.org.au/Pesach2008/...20graphics.pdf

Although not everything applies to me really, I'm not Jewish, so it has some things that are more strict I think.

I have another question I've just come across if anyone can answer. How come in Judaism the Passover is observed the day after?? On the 15th??

it is jewish custom to start the festival the night before (called 'erev' (ie evening) pesach (the hebrew word for passover). this is the same for all festivals and holy days.
