Throwback Thursday: Sunday meals from the past? #TBT

Kristján Geir Mathiesen

I am not gonna deny it: I am starting to run out of ideas for these posts. Sitting here with my mom in her living room and talking with her gave me an idea. We started talking about Sunday dinners. She would sometimes bake a whole chicken in her roasting pan, which had a lid. Then there would also be corn, salad, and sometimes fries. Either shoestring fries from a can (I wasn't a big fan of those) or fries bought from Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Soooo, what are some Sunday dinner memories from the past that you want to share with us?

Let’s make it a great Thursday!

Thanks for keeping these going, @Kristján Geir Mathiesen! I don't recall anything specific that was special to Sundays growing up. Now, Sunday dinners tend to be a bit more involved than a weeknight, but nothing too crazy! This Sunday, we'll be celebrating October birthdays with some smoked apple pie, burgers, smoked chicken wings, and a variety of other tasty snacks!

Woooo!! This topic makes me feel nostalgic 😍 with all childhood memories. Thanks @Kristján Geir Mathiesen for adding this!! ✨

Growing up in a Bengali household in India, having fish for lunch every day was the norm. Sundays were what I eagerly looked forward to, because that's when Maa made my favorite goat curry - the undisputed star of the week.🚀

Here is a sneak peek of it 🤩

Love how food can bring back so many warm family memories! ❤️ The Sunday chicken dinner sounds delicious! In my family, it would be Tatar boraki, an Armenian dish (or at least I think so 😄, well, it exists in several cuisines across the Caucasus) made of little pieces of dough, usually served with yogurt and garlic. Simple, comforting, and full of childhood memories!

Thank you for your memories. Glad this was a happy trip down memory lane, @Anwesha Pan

Hi,

My favorite weekend dinner memory actually took place on a Saturday! After my weekend run around the Kulmbach castle, I'd head straight to a small, family-owned regional spot for my favorite "trio" plate: a crispy Knusperschnitzel, a classic Cordon Bleu, and a Leberkäse stuffed like a Cordon Bleu, all served with pan-fried potatoes. It was such a wonderful way to reward myself after a run. Zunftstube forever!

Happy Thursday!

What a lovely idea for a post! In our family there wasn't really a classic Sunday dinner. Most Sundays I spent the whole day at the sports hall with my club, playing handball. During the day they sold bratwurst and cake there, though you didn't really eat any of it when you still had a game to play. 😄 In the evening, on the way to the club's pub, we'd always grab some kind of fast food. So my Sunday dinner memories are less roast chicken and more fries in a sweaty gym bag! 🤾‍♂️🍟

Hey @Kristján Geir Mathiesen

Growing up in Poland, Sunday meant a proper family lunch. Meat, potato dumplings, cabbage, and LOTS of gravy. 😄
And of course, someone would always ask whether you wanted seconds, even when your plate was still full. 😂
Here's a little taste of those Sunday traditions. Some things never get old!

Smacznego! 🇵🇱
