ReMind Magazine reported that the Waltons cast revealed the well-known family dinner scenes weren't all that appetizing in real life. In a June 2025 panel at The Hollywood Show, Kami Cotler, who famously portrayed Elizabeth Walton, said the characters' meals would be left out for quite some time, making it “very gross."
She clarified that late actor Ralph Waite, who played Elizabeth's father, John Walton Sr., "would eat" the food.
"We dreaded them. First of all, you have to do a master shot, and then once you do that, and the kids are flicking mashed potatoes at each other. And Cami’s playing with the salt, and I’m bored to tears," said Learned, who played John Sr.'s wife and matriarch of the Walton family, Olivia.
"We had corned beef — chipped corn beef — and that was a nightmare beyond imagining. By the end of that corn beef was just disgusting. There was practically mold growing on it,” said the actress in the 2014 interview.
