Question

what food the Jews eat during Passover? and what food is forbidden?

Answer 1

Passover (Pesach) a holiday begins on the fifteenth of the Hebrew month of Nisan which is March-April and lasts for 8 days. The Jewish family gathers for a ritual meal called Seder on the first two nights. The food associated with the Exodus is eaten as the family engages in rituals that recall the Exodus. During this time, there are a lot of traditional dishes that people enjoy and a few that people avoid.

A. Food’s preferred to eat during Passover:

The “Seder” is a ceremonial meal that includes a bunch of symbolic foods.

A typical Passover Seder plate includes six foods: Karpas (a green vegetable like parsley), ,Charoset (a sweet fruit mixture made with wine, honey or nuts), Maror (a bitter herb, often horseradish), Chazeret (a second bitter herb, often romaine), Z’roa (roasted lamb shank bone) and Beitzah (a roasted or hard-boiled egg).

Matzah, an unleavened flatbread made of flour and water, is eaten.

Smoked fish is another Passover staple.

Pastrami, brisket and corned beef, as well as chopped liver and gefilte fish (poached and deboned ground fish patties), latkes (fried potato pancakes), traditional tangy and sweet accompaniments, sour cream and applesauce.

Omelettes and egg dishes are also fair game, provided they’re kept kosher, and Sadelle’s

B. Foods did not prefer to eat during Passover:

Skip the lamb.

Eating chametz is forbidden, so matzah is the go-to starch.
Chametz, any food product made from wheat, barley, rye, oats or spelt that has come into contact with water and been allowed to ferment and rise, is not to be consumed during Passover.
