What is girl dinner?
Thanks for asking.
Girl dinner is a TikTok phenomena, though you would be hard-pressed to find any recipes, as it's more of a style of eating than anything specific.
It's a term used to describe a meal that consists of random snacks and leftovers.
For example, you might have some cheese and crackers, a handful of grapes, a glass of wine and a few pickles for your girl dinner.
Or maybe you just have some popcorn and a diet soda.
Or maybe you just go to bed without eating at all.
That can also be girl dinner.
Girl dinner, girl dinner, girl dinner, oh girl dinner.
Where did the term come from?
The origins of the term can be traced back to a TikTok video posted by Olivia Mayhair in June 2023, where she showed her dinner of bread cheese, fruit and pickles and called it Girl Dinner or Medieval Peasant.
The video has gone viral and sparked a wave of imitations, variations and parodies.
Some people embrace the idea of Girl Dinner as a way to celebrate their freedom, creativity and individuality.
Others criticise it as a sign of disordered eating, gender stereotypes and social pressure.
Is Girl Dinner good or bad for you?
Well, as with most things in life, it depends.
Nutrition experts say that there is nothing wrong with having a snack plate for dinner once in a while, as long as it contains enough calories protein, fibre and other nutrients to keep you satisfied and healthy.
However, they also warn that making girl dinner a habit could lead to nutritional deficiencies, low energy levels and poor mental health.
They advise to balance your meals with a variety of foods from different food groups and to listen to your hunger and fullness cues.
What does girl dinner say about our society?
Girl dinner is not just about food.
It's also about culture, identity and power.
Media studies professor, Emily Kontos, says that girl dinner reflects the gender expectations and norms that shape women's relationship with food.
She argues that girl dinner is both liberating and infuriating, because it challenges the traditional notion of cooking as a feminine duty, but also reinforces the idea that women should eat less, be more flexible and care less about their own needs.
She suggests that we should question the assumptions behind girl dinner and ask ourselves who benefits from them.
So in a nutshell, girl dinner is more than just a meal.
It's a social phenomena that reveals a lot about how we think about food, gender and society.
And, whether you love it or hate it, you can't deny that it has sparked some interesting conversations.
So next time you're feeling hungry, why not make your own girl dinner?
