Food traditions - what are/were yours?

[louby78]

As in Pizza night on a sunday, proper puddings on a Monday night to ease the start of the week or a roast dinner every sunday? I have a 4-yr old and a 1-yr old and would like to introduce some. I always remember having a roast on a sunday and crumpets and jam for tea in front of Bullseye!! Saturdays were always things like fishfingers. I'd really like my children to grown up with some traditions with food and wondered what yours were or are

We always do our roast dinner on a Tuesday when MIL comes round for tea after work :)

The kids love it.

When I was a kid we always had a boiled egg and soldiers watching songs of praise on a Sunday!

When I was a child it was chinese every friday.
Sunday breakfast was breakfast waffles with yogurt poured on and fruit.
Full roast on a sunday with brandy snaps as pudding
Saturday was buffet day where it was sandwiches, finger foods, salad, pasta.

My son is two and we have the waffle breakfast on a sunday.

We have American style pancakes with bacon, egg and maple syrup every Sunday morning.

No long term traditions - often have homemade pizza on a Friday....but sometimes it gets moved to Saturday or midweek. Weekends are never the same so having a food tradition would feel a little claustrophobic. I plan 6 meals a week but we still change around what we cook. I like the dcs to roll with the punches and eat whatever is put in front of them.
Mil cooked a Roast every Sunday for years and resented every second of it - no way do I want to get trapped into a weekly food tradition, even a weekly treat gets a bit predictatable and a bit dull.

We had takeaway fish and chips as a treat on Thursday's when my dad worked late.
Proper roast dinner on Sunday with pudding after.
Saturday mornings was home-made croissants, my favourite as we got to help my dad make them and ate them in front of the tv!
Saturday lunch time was always a 'picnic' with lots of different salads, crusty bread, ham, cold chicken, salami, cheese and things like pickled onions, olives. Basically whatever was in the fridge, and I loved it!

Pancakes for breakfast every Friday (no idea why) Usually something fancy on Sunday. The rest is pretty flexible.

A 'tea tea' on Sunday evenings - having had a roast lunch we'd have crumpets or scones, welsh cakes & a coffee cake in front of the telly that evening with a pot of tea and use great granny's china.

DH finds it very amusing we call it tea tea and always insists it is not an actual meal. He spoils it adds things like beans on toast

Another vote for American pancakes on a Saturday. Otherwise nothing very regular.

We had yum char out every sunday lunch. My parents are HK chinese though.
