Chabad:

We only eat vegetables and fruits we can peel
We have our own group to make shmurah matza with hiddurim
Dairy for under bar mitzvah
We squeeze our own fruits for juice
Shmaltz
Coarse kosher salt

Gefilte fish - our family makes a run for us at a local fish store.

Can’t remember anything else now as I’m not up to cooking yet.

Regular yeshivish.

I was raised eating only very specific brands and hechsherim. Raised we ate shmura matza only the first 2 days, regular machine the rest of Yom Tov and we also ate gebrochts.

Now married, we only eat hand shmura. We eat a lot more brands and hechsherim so we eat most store products. But absolutely no gebrochts at all. We eat out matza, then roll up the tablecloths. We don't put anything on our matza, not even butter or avocado.

We're also very makpid on mishing.

But honestly, mishing makes it easier for us. We have severe nut and egg allergies so the no mishing makes it easier not to eat something by mistake.

First I love pesach food! Its simple and fresh and I never feel hungry.
Im chabad and married into a specific strict family- hi cousins!
Homemade wine and grape juice
We actually buy matzah but a lot of cousins bake their own
Buy whole chickens before purim
Check kosher salt
I make oil from the shmaltz- my husband loves the gribbenes
No fish- maybe a whole fish from before purim is allowed
No plastic dishes, tablecloth etc
No kitneyos
No gebrokts which means the only thing that touches the matza is salt (besides for the seder)
No cucumber/ tomatoes
We only eat fruit and vegetables that can be peeled
If something drops we wait till the next year, something about 12 months then its battul.

Basically live on eggs, onion, potatoes, matzah, apples, avocados, banana, oranges, chicken, and carrots . A few more things we could eat like pears but I dont care for it.

Can you explain the buying things before Purim part?

I'm pretty sure chametz is never batel b'shishim.

I also grew up with if utensils fall on the floor it was set aside until the next year in a litvish home. It really stressed my Mom out because we were a house of many little kids constantly dropping things. My father looked into it and we dropped that minhag.

We eat gebrochts, only eat shmurah, hand at the seder, machine is fine for all other times.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned not mishing on Pesach!

It is Botel BShishim, but only before Pesach. Which is why we say Kol Chamirra

BT married to an FFB. We consider ourselves OOT Yeshivish. My in laws have an interesting mixture of minhagim and as they got older they dropped some chumros. We try to be mainstream.

We eat shmura matzah only and my husband strongly prefers the hand. I wont spend money on shmura matzah meal so there goes a lot of potential gebrochts. We don't eat gebrochts in the strictest sense of soaking the matzah in water, matzah balls, cake, but we eat cheese, butter, dips etc.

My MIL peeled when my husband was a kid but she got older and kind of dropped that and I said it was too hard for me so we buy all our produce before yomtov and dont buy chol ha moed.

No mushrooms or fresh garlic.

I came back to say I asked my brother and you are correct that it is batel b'shishim before Pesach. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn something new!

So cool to see other people that don't do gebrokts the first 2 days but do it the rest of the time! I grew up doing this and happens to be that DH does this too so I did not need to change my minhag (we were concerned that maybe we are secretly related when we discovered this when dating LOL ) , but besides for our two families I have never met someone else that does this! DH actually found the source for it since he was so bothered by the minhag but I don't remember what that source is haha.

It's mesorah in Chabad not to eat these vegetables. I'm sure there's a reason other then it being brought down in Shulchan Aruch Harav. DH didn't know why, just that it's mesorah.
Anyone else know the reason?

Were sefardi (yeshivish)

Husband is spanish. When we first got married we ate everything except rice and string beans. I grew up eating rice on pesach though and my husband looking into his family minhagim and spoke to a rav and since its something that his grandfather took on and since they kept it for 3 years they had a chazaka to keep it, but since me and DH werent married long enough we are able to eat rice.

So we can eat rice BH.

We have no restrictions now. Pesach is an easy breeze for us!

It's not just chabad. Try finding fresh peeled garlic for Pesach in BP!

As another poster already stated, garlic used to be grown in the same fields as wheat.
