Eating lamb at Passover is an example of an custom that has affected food choices?
The eating of lamb during the Pesach (Passover) Seder depends on the Minhag (custom) that is followed. Ashkenazi Jews do not eat lamb during Passover today, in order not to appear as if its being offered as a sacrifice. We don't offer sacrifices when the Temple isn't standing. Sephardi Jews do not accept that restriction and do eat lamb. While the Temple stood, lambs (or young goats) were offered for the Pesach-offering (Exodus ch.12, Deuteronomy ch.16).
