1950s: The Australian dining scene
When it came to standard Australian dinners in the 1950s, meat was always the main feature of the meal, whether it be served as a hearty sausage casserole, beef stew or mixed grill featuring lamb chops or steak.
…
In the 1950s, no one in the family were late for meals, as there was great importance placed on sitting down at the dinner table all together at a set time every evening.
Sundays were usually the formal meal of the week where extended family members might be involved. The head of the household would usually carve the roast at the table, serving thin slices of meat onto each plate, while the vegetables would be passed around for each person to help themselves.
