Lechem on Pesach?

[Moishie Meyer]

Noticed in P'Toldos (27:17) that Rivka handed Yaakov, Lechem (bread, presumably) & two goat dishes to bring in  to Yitzchok to eat.  But as Rashi, quoting Pirkei dR'Eliezer on Posuk 9 points out, it was Pesach!

Similarly, Avrohom promises Malochim, beginning of P'Vayeira (18:5), to serve them bread &only didn't because Sarah became a Nidda (Bereishis Rabba). Yet it was Pesach , as Rashi (18:10) points out &took place on same day Malochim arrived in Sedom &Lot served them Matzos! (19:3)

Avoiding the discussion about Avos keeping Mitzvos, Why would Avrohom&Yitzchok not eat Matzos, yet Lot did?

(Gur Aryeh there quotes answer that 'Lechem' with Avrohom &Yitzchok really refers to Matza, although this is bit difficult as with Lot, matzos are just called Matzos.) Does anyone know of any other explanation?

Also what's significance of a kid goat; with Yaakov serving two goats &also wearing Eisovs goats skin?  (an early Remez for chad gadya on Pesach 😉

Thanks in advance for any suggestions &apologies if this obvious Q has been discussed before

Just to reinforce the below, Lot's escape from sedom shares many associations with yetzias mitzrayim so you can understand the  pesach and matza connection but with yaakov it resulted in golus so what's the pesach significance (I recall something similar in the past)

As for the significance of the goat - the goat-cloak combination features prominently also in the deception of yaakov when yosef is sold and also in the deception of yehuda by tamar - seems to be what goes round comes round
