Sunday dinner

Family meal tradition

Sunday dinner is the main meal of the week, traditionally served in early afternoon on Sundays and often bringing extended family together.

In American and British households, it typically features roasted meat with sides: We always had roast beef for Sunday dinner at Grandma's house.

The meal carries associations of tradition, family gathering, and religious observance, as it historically followed church services.
