I'm not really Jewish but I've heard that on Passover it's a religious service called a Seder where the families gather around and drink four cups of wine, eating matza and partaking of symbolic foods placed on the Passover Seder Plate. I also googled the Seder plate and it turned out that it's a plate that contains 6 symbolic foods ..

  • Maror and Chazeret: Two types of bitter herbs, symbolizing the bitterness and harshness of the slavery which the Jews endured in ancient Egypt. For maror, many people use freshly grated horseradish or whole horseradish root. Chazeret is typically romaine lettuce, whose roots are bitter-tasting. Either the horseradish or romaine lettuce may be eaten in fulfillment of the mitzyah of eating bitter herbs during the Seder.
  • Charoset: A sweet, brown, pebbly paste of fruits and nuts, representing the mortar used by the Jewish slaves to build the storehouses of Egypt.
  • Karpas: A vegetable other than bitter herbs, usually parsley but sometimes something such as celery or cooked potato, which is dipped into salt water (Ashkenazi custom), vinegar (Sephardi custom), or charoset (older custom, still common amongst Yemenite Jews) at the beginning of the Seder.
  • Zeroa: A roasted lamb bone, symbolizing the korban Pesach (Pesach sacrifice), which was a lamb offered in the Temple in Jerusalem and was then roasted and eaten as part of the meal on Seder night.
  • Beitzah: A roasted egg, symbolizing the korban chagigah (festival sacrifice) that was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem and was then eaten as part of the meal on Seder night.

Many modern Jews include an orange on the seder plate. The orange represents the fruitfulness for all Jews when all marginalized peoples are included, particularly gay men and lesbians.

During the holiday of Passover, all leavened food products and products made from the forbidden grains are not eaten. Additionally, Ashkenazi Jews have a category of food called 'kitniyot' which are allowed items but aren't eaten because they could be confused with foods that aren't allowed.
In principle, anything that does not contain leavening. Such foods as bread, crackers, cake or cereals are not eaten. We eat fruit, vegetables, kosher meat and fish, and kosher dairy. Matzoh takes the place of bread.

Ashkenazim (Jews of European descent) have a binding custom to avoid legumes, peas and lentils.

In practice, any processed food should have a passover kosher certification.

During Succot, Jews are commanded to live in their succah, a temporary hut or booth that offers poor protection against the weather. Many Jews build succot (the plural) and, at minimum, eat meals in them. The obvious answer to "what do you eat" is something you can cook out on your patio. Get out the grill and grill things! However, many just eat normal meals, cooked indoors and carried outside.
