Or sideways. They often throw in elements of Judaism that showed up _after_ the time of Christ. It is dispensationalism taken to its logical extreme.
I have experienced this as well, having been to two "seders." The point of having the meal was to show how the individual elements "pointed to Christ" but most of what they included wasn't even in the biblical description of the Passover meal. I'm assuming it came from rabbinic tradition.
