What Is Traditional Passover Food?
Traditional Passover food includes matzah, bitter herbs to represent the bitterness of slavery, charoset to represent the mortar used by the Israelite slaves, gefilte fish, horseradish, brisket, kosher wine, and a variety of starchy side dishes like potatoes, kugel, and matzah ball soup. Many of these dishes are symbolic and have been passed down through generations of Jewish families as part of the celebration of Passover, which commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt.
