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?

Matzhah fried with egg, cheese, onions, and mushrooms. I can't think of anything better! : )

Yep, matza brei for me, too. Good stuff.

I've never thought of putting kneidlach in meat soup before (never heard of kneidlach with cholent, either), but your picture looks very yummy. Gotta try that.

Matza ball soup! How can you even ask?

My made chulent with kneidel every Shabbos, except on Pesach ironically, since she didn't cook "gebochs"!
