If you are not Jewish, yes. If you are Jewish, no bread, just Matzah. Also no whiskey an no beer. Wine, Vodka and fruit brandies are OK because they're made from fermented fruits or roots, not grain.

Why do you remove chametz on Passover?
Like most religious traditions, removing Chametz before Passover is symbolic and relates to the same reason that Jews do not eat Chametz, or leavened food products, during passover. When the Jews split from Egypt, they were in a bit of a hurry. Without time to prepare, legend has it that they could only make the most basic of breads, without allowing the bread time to rise. Essentially, they at Matzo. In commemoration of their plight, and in celebration of their freedom, Jews eat matzo during Passover as a way of joining their ancestors both for the joy of freedom, the sadness at the losses of the Egyptians, and the pain at the conditions of the departure. Removing the leavened food products, most notably bread, is similar to the way that the fleeing Jews left behind many of the things they enjoyed, including such foods.
