🎻🥕 Ever seen an orchestra made of veggies? Well, commuters at London’s South Bank did! Strictly’s own La Voix wowed the crowd with her vocals alongside a quirky ensemble playing carrot recorders, potato flutes, and butternut squash horns. This ‘HelloFresh Kitchen Orchestra’ hit the stage right at 5 PM, reminding everyone that it’s time to head home for dinner.
🍽️ According to a new survey, many of us are dining alone more frequently, with only 40% managing to enjoy dinner at the preferred time of 6:28 PM. Busy work schedules and family commitments often push meals to later in the evening, leaving meals hurried or solitary.
👨👩👧 The research highlighted that nearly half (47%) of people believe sharing dinner strengthens relationships, and 39% find it makes mealtimes more enjoyable. Yet, a staggering 84% agree that eating with others—be it family, friends, or housemates—is essential.
📅 Mimi Morley from the meal-kit brand suggests small changes like meal planning or prepping ingredients early in the week can help bring us back to the table, making dinner less routine and more about connecting with loved ones.
So, next time you sit down for a meal, who’s joining you around the table? 🍴 #FamilyDinners #VeggieOrchestra #StrictlySpectacle
