 Strat's Place - Daniel Rogov - The Best Known of All Meals The Last Supper of Jesus and His Disciples
According to the New Testament (Matthew 26 and Mark 14), the meal was intended to celebrate the Passover, the "feast of the unleavened bread".
There are good reasons to think that the meal upon which Jesus dined was traditional to that holiday, and thus would have included the unleavened bread today known as "matzo", which is meant to call to memory the haste with which the Hebrews had to prepare for their exodus from Egypt.
The meal itself would have been festive, for in addition to recalling the bitter days of slavery, the holiday is also dedicated to the celebration of freedom.

Through journalistic accounts and public records, Black determined the menus of the last meals served to 23 men and women who were executed between 1984 and 2001 in the state of Texas, the world’s largest prison system and the site of more than one-third of the executions carried out in this country since 1976.

 Last Supper
Because of the fact that the opposition to animal sacrifice is wrapped up in events of Jesus’ life which are clearly historical (namely, his death), and because opposition to animal sacrifice is found in the gospels and in Acts, only one answer is possible: Jesus opposed the animal sacrifice cult.
When reading the gospel accounts of the Last Supper in this light, it seems highly likely that we first had an earlier tradition of a last meal, consisting of bread and a drink, on which was later superimposed the tradition that this last meal was also a Passover.
But in any case, the Last Supper was vegetarian, and this supports the other strong evidence that we have for the fact that Jesus was a vegetarian and regarded vegetarianism as a central facet of his teaching and practice.

According to the synoptic gospels the last supper Jesus shared with his disciples was a passover eve and was thus a formal passover meal.
