RZS writes of a Dutch family making a Milchig seder.
On the one hand, there's the famous story of the Beis Halevi and the
man who asked if he could use milk for the Arba Kosos:

On the other hand, the Gemara in Pesachim, talking about food for the
Seder, orders that one have "two cooked foods", and their first
suggestion is "beets and rice". After some discussion, they settle
on "shankbone and egg" for the known symbolic reasons; but it seems
fairly clear that they were thinking beets and rice to be the seuda.
