Most of the food at the Seder is just food, but the meal part of the Seder begins with some ritual foods:
-- a spring vegetable dipped in salt water -- the salt water symbolizes the tears of the Israelite slaves.
-- matzah -- unleavened bread because the Israelites had no time to let their bread rise.
-- bitter herbs dipped in maror -- bitter herbs can symbolize the bitterness of slavery, maror symbolizes the mortar used by the Israelite slaves.
-- matzah with bitter herbs and maror (the Hillel sandwich) because the Torah says "they shall eat it with matzah and bitter herbs)
Maror is a relish made of of fruit, nuts and wine. Some marors are finely ground so they are a paste in which you can actually dip a bitter vegetable, but some are crumbly and really don't work for dipping. In any case, maror is sweet, so it counteracts the intense bitterness of the bitter herbs (sometimes bitter lettuce, other people use horseradish -- wasabi).

Is there a Christian Seder?
Some Christian congregations seek to find meaning in the Jewish celebration of Passover by engaging in "seder meals" that try to replicate the Last Supper which, according to some authorities, was a Seder. Whether or not this is true is not the answer to this question. But it does raise the issue of whether or not there needs to be a Christian Seder. Other Christian congregations create their own "talk feast" (the Greek antecedent to the Passover Seder) that usurp Jewish symbols and imbue them with Christian interpretations. This is totally inappropriate, and many Jews feel insulted when they learn of these (ab)uses of their traditions. My answer to this overall question is "no" and here is why. The Seder is a Jewish celebration commemorating an event, legendary or real, in the life of the Jewish people. As such, it would be inappropriate for a Christian denomination to adopt the Seder to any purpose other than understanding their own scriptural roots or their Jewish neighbors. I am not sensitive enough to the need of understanding the Seder in context of the Last Supper; I just don't get the connection myself. But if a Christian congregation wishes to know what the Passover Seder is like in order to get a flavor of the context of biblical times, that would be fine. There is a danger of changing the Jewish Seder into a Christian observance, and this would be wrong. So, no, there would be no need or use for a Christian Seder.
