Why is this food different from all other food

Besides the basic seder obligations - wine, matza, maror, karpas - what is your favorite special Passover food?

For one thing, potato kugel. This isn't strictly a Pesach (Passover) issue; it's a food processor issue. Our year round food processor doesn't have a the grating attachments anymore; our Pesach one does. I much prefer potato kugel that's been grated than pureed.

The Pesach kugel doesn't have quite the same recipe as the year round one. (There's no flour obviously.) But I really enjoy the grated taste. It's, err, great.
(But I do like a nice golden kugel the rest of the year.)

For Shabbos lunch, I made some meat soup. Even during the year sometimes we'll have soup instead of cholent. The meat soup is a pretty simple recipe. Meat, potatoes, carrots, an onion, tomato sauce and water. And as you can see, floating at the top, - knoedel (matza balls).

This is interesting as my mother used to make cholent with knoedel. Has anyone ever heard of that combination?
