WE have been eating kitniyot. We're not s'phardi, but kitniyot isn't chometz, so while we can't it during Pesach, it doesn't make our kelim chometz. That why we can and have eaten at s'phardi friends' houses during Pesach - they just have to tell us which dishes we need to avoid.
So, we had peas last night and will have corn tonight. I was even tempted to buy prechecked rice, but decided that was too weird.
On the other hand, we are NOT having kitniyot after today, and I'll have egg matzah for the last time tomorrow.
The store sealed the challah. It's totally brilliant.
Glossary:
Chometz - anything made from the five grains (wheat, oats, rye, barley and spelt) that isn't matzah.
Kitniyot - rice, corn, legumes and other seeds that have been deemed not permitted to ashkenazim. This includes, sadly, mustard.
