Vegan Seder bowl
Hello Rabbi,
What about the arm and egg in a vegan bowl on Seder night? I found very few references to the problem (especially from great and well-known rabbis) and I was really surprised by their answers.
People in the questions explicitly wrote that it was an ideological matter, but the rabbis told them to put their arm and an egg in anyway.
What can I replace the arm and the egg with?
Thank you very much.

First of all, the whole issue of the arm and egg in the bowl is a custom. What is mentioned in the Gemara are two dishes (simply put, this was their meal, and not a symbol as is customary today). Therefore, one should not get carried away by the importance of the matter. See a nice overview here:

In any case, in light of the Gemara Pesachim Kid 14b, you can put silka and aruza (cooked vegetable and rice) without any problem. Golinkin identifies silka with chard (a type of spinach. See note 4 there), but you can put any cooked vegetable there.
