The Jews eat the Passover Seder meal on the night of Passover (Pesach). It makes little difference whether Passover begins on Shabbat or on a weekday. Note that there are festive meals on every Shabbat, but they are not called "seder" and the foods are different.

What do Jews eat for the Passover meal and why?
Jews eat the Passover meal to commemorate what happen to them a long time ago. In the Bible, it explains that the Jews were taken out of Egypt, in a hurry.

Why do Jews specifically eat bitter herbs and not other vegetables in the Passover Seder?
This question likely comes from the differences in phrasing of the second question of "Ma Nishtana", the set of four Passover questions. The question is, "On all other nights we eat many vegetables, why on this night, [only] bitter herbs?". The word "only", put in brackets here, is inserted in some versions and removed in others. This is likely a problem deriving from remembering the questions of "Ma Nishtana" incorrectly, because the first question has a similar format: "On all other nights we eat both leavened and unleavened bread, why on this night, only unleaveaned bread?" Since the format was similar, the "only" in the first question, which is legitimate - no leavened products are eaten on Passover, it was incorrectly carried to the second question.As others have noted, Jews eat a variety of other vegetables on Passover, most notably the "karpas", which is a piece of parsley or celery that features in the Seder celebration. Additionally, most Jews will include some vegetables in the meal that is served during the meal-portion of the Seder. So, the premise behind the question of "only" is incorrect.

It is also sometimes called the Feast of Unleavened Bread because it features unleavened bread and one of the high points of the liturgy of the meal is the command to eat unleavened bread.
