What's this meal called?

I have breakfast at 8am
Lunch at 1pm
Dinner at 7pm

At 9pm I often have yogurt, fruit and some chocolate...

Is this pudding or supper?

Snack!

MrsTommyBanks · 14/02/2019 23:19

A snacky supper.

Pudding is what you have straight after your meal. Like dessert. It's either supper or a snack. Perfect supper for me would be a chocolate hobnob and some warm milk. And no. I'm not 5.

BrightSpells · 14/02/2019 23:20

It completely removes it. This is a fact.

I say it's supper.

Dp claims the chocolate makes it a pudding.

Ooo I'm going with @VanillaSauce and saying munchies!

BrightSpells · 14/02/2019 23:21

Snack might be winning!

Noooo - your DP is talking rubbish! Pudding is the sweet thing eaten immediately after dinner!

BollocksToBrexit · 14/02/2019 23:24

It's 'scoff'.

Justkeeprollingalong · 14/02/2019 23:27

Snack

showmethegin · 14/02/2019 23:28

It's a snack! Supper is something savoury, if it was a pudding you'd have it right after dinner. Vis a vis, snack IMO!

BrightSpells · 14/02/2019 23:29

Exactly @isbreakfastready

Today was a kiwi, yogurt and some chilli dark chocolate (it worked). Two whole hours after dinner. It's not part of the dinner meal at all.

When I eat this he is usually scoffing nuts. That's definitely not pudding.

I sometimes choose to have pudding after DD is in bed. That way it's definitely pudding as it's what I would have normal eaten as dessert at dinner time.

A bowl of cereal or a toasted teacake just before bed is supper to me. It's not pudding type food.

I see chocolate as a snack. It's neither pudding nor supper.

My posh friends call their main evening meal supper.

Right, has that cleared things up?

Supper is something like crackers and cheese, or a fried egg sandwich, or a bacon sandwich.

RomanyQueen1 · 14/02/2019 23:37

Supper.

We have Breakfast, dinner, tea and supper before bed.

AlpacaPicnic · 14/02/2019 23:41

9 o'clockers. It should be a roll with grated cheese, a mixture of cheddar and Red Leicester.

''Tis an old naval tradition, so my wise old dad tells me. Of course, this may be a lie and he just fancied a cheese butty but he always insisted that the navy gave him that as a snack at 9pm and it was called 9 o'clockers.

Honeyroar · 14/02/2019 23:51

It would be supper, which isn't a much used phrase nowadays.

tessieandoz · 14/02/2019 23:51

supper

MumUnderTheMoon · 14/02/2019 23:59

Supper pudding comes as part of dinner, lunch etc

PurpleDaisies · 15/02/2019 00:02

Supper

TheFuckfaceWhisperer · 15/02/2019 00:11

Supper. I’m 49 and food you eat before bedtime has always been supper and I don’t understand how that can be pretentious. Breakfast, dinner, tea, supper.

Sydneysider2019 · 15/02/2019 01:14

@VanillaSauce yes for munchies!Smile

BarbaraofSevillle · 15/02/2019 07:29

You've probably realised by now that there isn't a majority and it depends where you are in the country.

You call it supper, but some people use that word to describe their evening meal. If cheese can be pudding, then so can nuts.

sashh · 15/02/2019 08:08

I'd call it supper. To me supper is what you have, or give children, some time between tea (or dinner depending on whether your children eat with you) and bedtime.

Imnotswallowingthat · 15/02/2019 09:25

Its pretty much the evening equivalent of elevenses.

Calvinsmam · 15/02/2019 09:28

We call it our ‘treatytreat’ in our house.
