To me the noon meal is 'dinner' and the evening meal 'supper'. Evidently
some use 'lunch' and 'dinner'. Maybe other names. Seems everyone calls the
morning meal breakfast.

Just curious.

It is regional. Where were you raised?

"Dinner" is the fourth one down.

For me, the midday meal is always lunch. For the evening meal I use dinner
and supper somewhat interchangeably, although I somewhat favor supper for
a simple meal and dinner for a more complex or formal meal. I'm from
Michigan.

Lunch has always been lunch. Growing up we had supper but I find we use
dinner more now.

similar here except i don't consider complexity of the
meal at all when using dinner/supper so those are pretty
much interchangeable.

i suspect the use of the word supper is more in line
with religious affiliation too, but that is a hypothesis
at this moment and a bit too busy to delve into it...

i prefer to use the word dinner but am not 100% consis-
tent.

for me there is breakfast, brunch, nunch, lunch, and then
dinner or supper which come later, snacks in between.

i like the hobbits which admit to having 2nd breakfast.
but personally i can't eat that many times. i usually eat
some kind of breakfast if i can remember to do it and
sometimes that is it until later on in the day when i will
have supper. nothing however should be eaten after that
because it is a good way to ruin your diet and put on
weight. i hate if i get too hungry at night if i start in
on snacking i may end up eating a whole 'nother meal.

Oh yes second breakfast is very important. When you wake up at 4 am
and break your fast at 430 you will start getting hungry again in the
8 o'clock hour, that can usually be put off til the latter part of 9
maybe even 10 at which point you can call it a brunch. then there is
lunch at around 1 then dinner at 5-6 or if you are with the older
generations it is most often called supper. To me though supper is
more of a "supplement" meal hence the name supper. I feel that name
has been more than not been pushed out for the more formal word of
dinner from the term diner where most people take their evening means.

That however does not count the snacks taken at the 9 - 11 o'clock
hours.

Do you remember when Popeye kept calling you lste at nite a few
years ago?

IIRC, you finally got rid of the horny little sailor, but he still
kept humping your leg for a while.

Don't feel bad. Popeye would **** a rattlesnake if he could get
someone to hold it's head.

About a mile down the road and around the corner there is a house where
they go nuts with outdoor Christmas decorating. A few years ago I
stopped and took a picture and counted the blow up figures..... 44 of
them. Then he started doing it for Halloween.

KenK, growing up in New Hampshire, it was breakfast, dinner, supper. Somewhere across the years, it changed to breakfast, lunch, supper.

Import Australian: breakfast, lunch, dinner. "Supper" is for people
who talk funny. Lower socio-economic Australians often call the 3rd

A late weekend breakfast can be brunch, but it has to have more than
just plain old breakfast or lunch fare.

Growing up, dinner was an elaborate meal that took place in the afternoon
after church, ie. Sunday Dinner.

I thought dinner and then supper was a Wisconsin thing. I was raised in
the Chicago suburbs and it was always lunch and dinner.

The term dinner was only used for the large mid-afternoon meal on Sunday,
usually centered around roast beef. Otherwise, they were breakfast, lunch
and supper. I always thought the terminology was a Southern thing. In my
case, Georgia.

I lived in lots of places all over the US growing up. It was always
breakfast, lunch and dinner. I've heard "supper" but no one in my
family ever used that term for the evening meal. Living in the south
for going on 40 years, I never once heard anyone call the mid-day meal
supper, either. Only on television. YMMV.

Being an Army brat,I lived in a number of places also. Attended the first
grade at Frankfort American School in Germany, lived in Tennesee a few
years and in Hawaii at Schofield Barracks. While in Hawaii, I developed a
real taste for Li Hing Moi which are sweet and sour dried plums. After
the initial shock of the first one, it was a taste that grew on you. I
was also fond of dried red cuttlefish tenticles. They were not overly
fishy or salty but were deliciously chewy. This was in the mid '60s and I
attended Leilehua High School in Wahiawa where I quickly learned that
"Like beef Haole Boy?" was not a question about food!

"Like beef, Haole boy?" meant you were being asked if you wanted to
fight. Since there were usually several of them, I'd reply with something
like "meata eata" or "yuck fu" or even "ride the rod". This normally
mystified them long enough for me to make my getaway.

My wife was an Army brat. She lived in Germany and Virgina when her dad worked at the Pentagon. They used to live almost under the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. That must have been a trip. Leilehua High sounds like a tough school. I went to a pretty laid back school - Kailua High School.

The red cuttlefish is good eats. Unfortunately, I got a bad batch and was laid out for about a week. I didn't eat the stuff for 20 years after that. These days, I no longer find it very appealing.

More of a snack. I presume tea was a more substantial meal? Or was the
main meal of the day the midday dinner?

The evening meal became the main meal of the day when workers
could not get home at midday. That certainly was the case when

had a sandwich or something at midday, then a full meal in the
evening.

Breakfast. lunch, dinner/supper. But, If it is a holiday meal with
turkey or ham and all the fixings that is served mid-afternoon, it is
called dinner.
