I hear what you are saying mobbuchir, but respectfully disagree. The special taam of Pesach becomes whatever you specifically do l’kovod pesach. my special taam of Pesach is eating the charoses, which i make exactly as my mother O”H did. Her wine nut cake is another “taam” that remains with me, even as I am typing this post. Although I cannot make gefilte fish as good as hers, and never will, because the precise way she made it was lost when she died (she always insisted on making the fish herself as I was growing up, and gave me other assignments to with which to occupy myself while she made the fish), nonetheless, as I cook, the taam of Pesachs Past, comes back to me full force. Whatever minhagim you have in yuor family, will always be the taam of pesach, even if it means eating potato starch spaghetti and ketchup.
