You know, “meat loaf night”, “pork chop night”, etc. This is always in the sitcoms and the cartoons and my mom says she grew up that way (may be generational—my parents are Boomers). But it was a lot less predictable for me growing up. My parents also liked to experiment with cooking, so there was no guarantee that dishes would be repeated.

If your parents regularly cooked dinner, was it predictable? Did they experiment? Did you have a certain meal they made that you hated?
