When couples from different cultures clash over children's dietary traditions

My partner and I are from different cultures and we've been arguing about what to feed our kids — they want traditional foods from their heritage and I want mine, but we're both afraid our children will lose connection to who they are. We keep having the same fight about Sunday dinners and holiday meals and neither of us knows how to honor both traditions without diluting them.
