traditional meal
Classic family feast
A traditional meal is a dish or sequence of dishes associated with a particular culture, region, or occasion, typically prepared according to long-established recipes and customs.
Traditional meals often carry significance beyond nutrition—marking holidays, family gatherings, or cultural identity: Thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without the traditional meal of turkey and stuffing.
The phrase can also describe conventional meal structure: a traditional meal of starter, main course, and dessert.
