The Paschal Supper (Passover Seder).
People eat the Seder meal as part of the Passover celebration. It is a symbolic meal that commemorates and retells the story of the Israelites' liberation from slavery in Egypt, as instructed in the Torah. The meal follows a specific order outlined in the Haggadah, a text that guides the rituals and readings during Passover.
There are two answers. 1) The first Passover was the day of the Exodus. The Israelites prepared the Pesach-offering and conducted the Seder-meal; at midnight, God smote the firstborn of the Egyptians; and the next morning, the Israelites left Egypt. 2) Every other Passover since then is a reliving of that first year. Passover is a Torah-festival. We eat unleavened bread (matzoh), and conduct the Seder meal.
Passover is not a time of fasting, so Jewish people can eat during the middle of the day during Passover.
Passover is the feast that celebrates the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. It commemorates the Israelites' liberation from slavery and their journey to freedom led by Moses. During Passover, a Seder meal is held where specific foods and prayers are shared to retell the story of the exodus.
Along with roasted lamb and unleavened bread, the Israelites were to eat bitter herbs on the first night of Passover (Exodus 12:8).
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.
The meal was called the Passover or Pessach and involved both lamb, bitter herbs and unleavened bread, as indeed it still does today.
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. Their bread did not have a chance to leaven, and so they ate what they call "matzoh" Now Jews have a meal with "matzoh" in it, to commemorate it.
The Torah (Exodus ch.12) specifies matzoh, bitter hers and the meat of the pesach-sacrifice. Other foods are not mentioned, but wine, vegetables and fruits were probably on the menu.

The Hebrews ate a special meal called the Passover meal before they left for freedom. It included roasted lamb, unleavened bread, and bitter herbs, and was eaten to commemorate the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt.
