This might seem to be a fatuous question, but I call it dinner. However, my gf insists it's called tea and says dinner is what you have in the middle of the day - but I call that lunch.

Dinner or supper


This. Mostly the former. Lunch is the midday meal, though we might call it dinner if we have our big meal at midday for some reason.

Reminder: I am Canadian and I imagine this is cultural so YMMV.

I've never eaten 'supper.' Laura says supper is something you have very late, like 8 or 9 o'clock in lieu of a missed tea.

I'm with your gf on this one, Danielle.

Back in my youth, tea was what we had on getting home from work, eaten between five and six.

In middle age, when we began to regularly have wine with our evening meal, we ate much later — between eight and nine in the evening. Even now, after all these years, when discussing what our evening meal will be the question invariably is, "What's for tea?".

I stopped drinking alcohol during the pandemic and now find myself eating my last meal much earlier in the evening than when I had wine with it.

In the Mid-West of the United States, it was common that older farmer folks would call the noon meal dinner. For them, it was a formidable meal keeping them going all day while they worked the land.

Then, after they got home from working and the family gathered around the table they had supper. They really had no idea what lunch was.

For city folk, it was much more common to have lunch in the middle of the working day and then have dinner after arriving home. If they were better off they might eat a late evening meal called supper. I'm sure that was common in Europe as well.

Nowadays if I am referring to the meal in the middle of the day it is lunch. The meal later, after work is over, is called either dinner or supper. It is interchangeable.

Larry, this was the way in the South too. Farming families ate breakfast very early and dinner was the big meal to sustain you after your mornings work and to prepare for the afternoon. Supper was the end of the day's work.

I seem to say dinner more than supper. In the U.S. we don't have tea unless we want a beverage.

Where l live, supper mostly, but sometimes dinner.

Lunch is midday, but on Christmas or Thanksgiving we call it dinner.

Late morning is called brunch.

Early morning is called breakfast.

But eating at Waffle House ar 2:00am is just eating because your drunk and hungry.

When I say DINNER I refer to the evening meal, my wife means lunch. We have to stop and verify what we meant, even after 24 years together.

She was raised in Iowa, and I am fifth generation Californian. (Needs saying because people new to California are common and bring their culture with them.)

Do you guys in America even have a meal that anyone calls "Teatime"?


I suppose in the UK, "Tea" (as food) was the thing posh people had at about five in the afternoon, ritually sipping tea and scoffing jam and scones to keep them going until the evening meal they called "dinner".

Dinner for us plebs was what we ate at lunch.

Breakfast - Dinner - Supper I believe are the correct terms for the morning, mid-day, and evening meals. In my house, the specific term isn't used, more like "What would you like to eat, hon?" We both like it when one or the other of us says "You!"

My Gran's not posh but I've heard her talk about 'High Tea.' for a light snack at about 3pm.

NO

My sister runs a tea room in the L.A. area, so I have some authority on this answer.

No. And tea where l'm from, is sweet and iced. Actually, sweet tea is the most common drink to accompany lunch and supper meals.

Nice. Sounds very civilised.

Did you succumb to the temptation of your past its "Best by" Branston pickle? If not, I'm sure you'll be fine.

I once took some fish to the till in the supermarket, marked down. The plastic seal had snagged and was loose. The girl would not sell it to me because the packaging was damaged. When I pleasantly said I did not mind, she looked at me as if I was some kind of needy low-life, became brusque, dismissive.

I just shrugged my shoulders and took my other things, wondered if she had ever been in an actual fishmongers shop where all those glassy-eyes fish copses wait inspection laid out on cold marble, then handled, wrapped in plastic and greaseproof.
