What sort of dinners do the family eat Matilda?

Answer 1

In "Matilda" by Roald Dahl, the Wormwood family typically enjoys rather unappetizing and unhealthy dinners. They often eat fast food, like fried chicken and chips, or simple, bland meals that lack nutrition and care. Matilda's parents, especially her father, show little interest in cooking or enjoying food, reflecting their neglectful and self-centered nature. In contrast, Matilda longs for the joy of reading and experiencing the world beyond her family's mundane dining habits.
