Does any one know when the Ashkenazim stopped accepting rice
(and legumes) as kosher l'pesach?  It seems that Rashi considered
the question of rice (which seems to have been introduced to europe
about that time);  he spoke with scholars "from the land where rice
is grown" (wherever that was), and they said that they ate rice
during pesach, so rashi decided it was acceptable.  When was it
deemed unacceptable?  Tosaphists?  Shulchan Aruch?
