Does anyone still take Sunday dinner seriously?

In my life especially when growing up Sundays always held a very special place. We were not that religious so there was no real church attention going on. However everyone took Sunday dinner very seriously. Grandmothers or if you were lucky mothers would go all out and cooking would last most if not all of the day. Elaborate meals were prepared. Such things as a ham, a prime rib roast, rack of lamb, roast beef, or even roasted chickens. Enough food was made to feed a small army, and every so often company would show up to eat as well. You had appetizers, drinks, a multi course meal, and of course coffee and dessert.

This being a Sunday I have given it some thought and was curious how many still make either a special or a large meal on Sunday. Have you experienced such, did your family do this, do they still, or do you now carry on the tradition?

I can't remember sundays in my family being anything special as far as food, but my best friend's family was huge and straight off the boat from portugal so every sunday we'd play soccer and have bbq's at various people's houses.

Sundays were always pasta day when I was a kid and I have continued the tradition with my GF and her sisters.... I love spending the day on Sunday just kicking back, watching a game and cooking a pot of sauce on the stove...

I don't get it. How is Sunday Dinner different than Monday Dinner, or Thursday Dinner for that matter?

I've never heard of "sunday dinner", not even as a religious thing.

For one thing there's a lot less traffic on the roads for the 15km drive over to the parental unit's house on Sunday.

For another, the rest of the family who have things called "jobs" are usually free on Sunday, but not generally on Mondays or Thursdays.

Why are you suggesting that the two are mutually exclusive? You can't have an opinion about family dinners and be a whore monger?

I also have very fond memories of Sunday dinners (served around noon) with my Italian-American grandmother and grandfather and my parents. Relatives dropped by often around the major holidays. We always had macaroni and meatballs, Italian bread, salad and other treats, followed by coffee and cake an hour or so later.

Well some families attend church first and then all end up at a one house for a large meal and weekly get together. Others as mentioned just used it as a day to get together because it was a day off almost everyone had. Even those that had hard schedules usually at least got Sunday off. Plus for many there was usually televised sports on for part if not most of the day.
I have typically seen it more with ethnic families than I have with your average very integrated leave it to beaver style white family.
Such dinners also were built to leave plenty of additional food to be used throughout the week for fast dinners and typically ones fathers lunch box.

I am swamped in porn and naked girls most of my work day. I do not care that much about the exploits of hunting strange vaggo in 3rd world countries. I like to talk about other things around the proverbial water cooler than just more work topics.
Plus I have noticed very often that many who like to really indulge in or are successful in this business seem to have a interest in good food. In case you have not noticed many of the longer non drama threads around here have been about food or other random topics. Sure there are several who see food as just a fuel. However just like good pussy, many see good food as a fantastic indulgence and something to hunt for.

Growing up, yes. Now it's more of a Sat or Sun thing. Spend a good part of the day and make a nice supper. Family get togethers are always on Sundays, no matter the holiday or occasion.

Damm yeah we always have a Sunday roast. When I was A kid we also always had a roast dinner on Sundays so I guess this has rubbed off and me and my family still do it today. The only times we dont have a sunday roast is if we are out or if the sun is shinning in the summer times then we have a BBQ instead. At around 5pm on a Sunday we also have tea which is all the yummy cakes, biscuits, fruit and cream ect.

Sunday nights were never special when I was growing up. My friends and I now get together on Monday nights every other week and have dinner. We all bring stuff and one of my friends is a chef so she makes something good. We all eat them play some games and hang out.

As a kid yes, Sunday dinner was huge for my Italian family...but now our generation is way to busy rushing around and many have moved away from culture and tradition...which sucks cause those were the days. Although the wife is Japanese she has learned some of my families recipes...but unless your Italian you might not understand these sunday meals.

In fact I just came from one of the wifes friends house in Long Island who is also Japanese and married to a white guy. They invited us for dinner...knowing the wife was not into cooking much and not Italian...I made sure I had a big breakfast...because the meal they made was a joke...it was a good thing we brought a Cheese Cake that filled us up.

Italians always make a lot of food, and pasta was a must on Sundays, with a meat/and or seafood course...and desert...and of course antipasto to start the meal...and a loaf of Italian bread.

I am not Italian and many I know are not either but they understand it and they are a big deal. I am Spanish (Spain), British, and American Indian and it was a big thing for both my great grandmother who was British, and then my grandfather who's whole side of the family is Spanish. I also saw same types of meals when visiting with some of my friends. A couple of them are from South America. I did have an Italian friend and they made a big deal as well. I just think it is not limited to Italians but more so to non fully Americanized cultures. Seems many people from all sorts of regions did it.

Since I moved close to my sister and my nieces we do a lot of BBQ'ing on Sunday's in the spring and summer, and it is amazing how much of a cherished time it is becoming. I was never into the whole traditional family thing for the majority of my life, but I do love the Sunday family BBQ's now. It's not a religion thing for us, just an everyone is off work and together thing...

I grew up in a big, Italian family. Sunday dinner was ceremony. Large, elaborate meals, or large simple ones. Lots of red wine and there were often many people there. No one got out of going because they were going to an in-laws dinner or otherwise engaged, all those people were simple invited to come as well.

Now, sadly, I don't see anything close to that.

I also saw same types of meals when visiting with some of my friends. A couple of them are from South America. I did have an Italian friend and they made a big deal as well. I just think it is not limited to Italians but more so to non fully Americanized cultures. Seems many people from all sorts of regions did it.

I was refering to my wife, we go to dinner at one of her Japanese friends house...and after 3 hours your leaving...but when we go to my relatives house it is a full day affair of eating. Two different cultures worlds appart...

But you are correct many cultures have get togethers for big meals on Sundays, but it seems these days everyong is busy doing something else and it is more likely a family get together will be for a holiday celebration.

That is the part that I am curious about. Was our parents or grand parents generations any less busy really? Do we really get that much more done today than those in the past, if anything it seems as if we have more conveniences and time than they did yet actually get less done.

My childhood was sort of the reverse... except for when Sunday was a holiday. We had family dinner every night together Monday through Friday and the weekends were pizza, casual, whatever

Now that I have my own family I'm trying for the same thing that I had growing up.

Shops weren't open back in the days. Now people think they are busy but really they are just walking round Target.

Back then women stayed home and cooked all day, these days the women needs to work to. You have many divorced families, your parents might have been together when you were a kid...and then later split. People are more consumed in other things, TV, internet, hobbies, etc. Growing up we had 7 TV channels, now 500 channels...no internet. The family back in the days just had more values, these days parents don't even tell their kids to stop running in the house. Families don't all live on the same block anymore...they might have to relocate for work, etc.

I live in an apartment building and the Dominicans have family parties several times a week. The area here has become mainly Dominican...so they have a ton of family in the naborhood. Fucking sick of Bachata music.
