Sunday dinners
Family meal tradition
Sunday dinners are elaborate midday or early evening meals traditionally shared with extended family, often after church services.
The phrase evokes a specific domestic ritual—multiple generations gathered around a table with dishes that require hours of preparation: roast meat, sides, homemade desserts.
We always had Sunday dinner at Grandma's house.
The tradition has declined but remains culturally significant, especially in the American South and among religious families.
