100 years of family dinner in 3 minutes

What did you typically eat when growing up? Do you know what your grandparents ate for dinner? How does that compare to the family dinners of today?

In a mouth-watering video by Mode, watch how much family dinners have changed over the past century – from roast beef and potatoes in 1915 to cheese fondue in 1975 to the grilled salmon with quinoa and kale salad of today.

While the video looks at American dinners, there are quite a few parallels to the changes in family dinners here in New Zealand. What is your favourite decade of family dinners? And what classic childhood dishes would you add?
