The great Jewish holiday will begin very soon Passover! And to make the holiday truly joyful and delicious, it’s a good idea to stock up on all the necessary foods and ingredients for your Easter meals ahead of time. This list will help you make sure you have everything you need for Passover.
Matzah
When God freed our ancestors from Egypt, they were in such a hurry to flee to freedom that they didn’t wait for the dough to rise; instead, they baked unleavened bread—the bread of suffering—matzo! That is why, starting on the very first evening, Passover It is forbidden not only to eat anything leavened but also to have any leavened food in one's possession, and for the next 7 days, one must eat matzo.
Wine
or grape juice (preferably red) are also necessary. Since Passover Seder consists of four parts plus a feast, and each part Seder begins with a glass of wine or grape juice; each participant Seder You should drink at least four glasses like this.

Horseradish
It’s usually freshly grated—and, of course, spicy! After all, it helps us remember the deep bitterness of life in Egyptian slavery. One jar is more than enough for a small group.
Parsley
Fresh, with one sprig for each guest. Parsley resembles hyssop—a branched herb that our ancestors used to apply the blood of the Passover lamb to the doorposts in Egypt.
Salt
You need to dissolve salt in water (make it quite salty) and place it on the table in a bowl or dish. At the appropriate moment, all participants dip their sprig of parsley into the salt water and reflect on the many tears shed by our ancestors during their slavery in Egypt.
Charoset
This is a sweet salad or paste made from apples, nuts, prunes, honey, wine, or juice, with cinnamon. It resembles the clay our ancestors used to mold bricks for the Egyptians. Just buy the ingredients, chop them finely, and dress to taste.

Salad
Ramen salad—another component Passover, which serves as a reminder of the bitterness of slavery in Egypt. Instead of lettuce, which was more bitter in ancient times, you can use onion sliced into rings.
Pit
Ever since the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans in A.D. 70, the offering of sacrificial animals has ceased. The Passover lamb is, in fact, the main dish Passover, which was also a sacrificial animal, — consequently, disappeared from Passover Seder. The only reminder of it is a sheep’s bone—sometimes seared or slightly charred—which sits on a plate in the center of the table as a garnish. To make this, you can either buy a sheep or lamb bone from the butcher—usually a shin bone, known in German as „Bone Shaft“, or use a large chicken bone. In any case, the bone should be boiled to sanitize it and remove any remaining meat, and then dried. Roasting is optional, but it adds the desired symbolic meaning, since the Passover lamb was roasted over a fire.
Chicken eggs
Hard-boiled brown eggs (or, if the eggs are white, eggs boiled in coffee), one for each person attending the celebration. They serve as a reminder of the daily sacrifices that were offered before the destruction of the Temple. Feast Passover It starts with all the participants eating one egg each.
Easter Feast
It's important to remember that in the middle of Seder, between the end of the second course and the start of the third, the main dishes (such as poultry with a side dish) are served, and the Easter dinner begins. Choose appropriate Easter dishes here And don't forget to buy everything you need Ingredients. It is very important, however, that all dishes comply with Easter guidelines (read more).
