I had a nice evening of studying on the web, starting from WHY Chocolate is considered toxic for dogs (and getting an answer I could understand in studying the nature of the chemical Theobromine) then heading for Coca Cola (history of the registered-trade-marked drink, not the company) and from Coke, which may not be fully Kosher for Passover (because it contains HFCS) to the problem of what's Kosher on Passover and what's not... and got to Spelt.
and what is spelt? (you may skip the next paragraph)
well, according to Wikipedia, Spelt (Triticum spelta) is a hexaploid species of wheat. Spelt was an important staple in parts of Europe from the Bronze Age to medieval times; it now survives as a relict crop in Central Europe and has found a new market as a health food. Spelt is sometimes considered a subspecies of the closely related species common wheat (T. aestivum), in which case its botanical name is considered to be Triticum aestivum subsp. spelta.
And why does it matter?
It doesn't really... except, on the Wikipedia page of Spelt, I found something really funny....
Well, at least... I think it was extremely funny
