What is an african country?

Entrea

PIL and DH have tea, I have dinner. They also drink tea with it (ugh)

we have dinner or tea, it depends I use both terms

I thought tea was what you had between lunch and dinner.

I thought this thread would have been the other way around, it usually is on here.

I agree, it is breakfast dinner and tea.

Who really gives a flying fuck

If we eat it at home it's tea. If we go out it's dinner.

Ive never met anyone who uses supper meaning evening meal. Oop north supper is cheese on toast before bed.

YABU though

"Tea is at teatime (4/5ish)
Dinner is at dinnertime (7 -9 ish)"

That is what I thought! Is is really so controversial???

breakfast
lunch
dinner/tea (same thing in the Shiny house)

Where I am from, only very old country folk say "tea" for their evening meal. It is usually had very very early, say 5 pm, and is commonly taken by er, persons who work the land

That's far too much eating

Or even Eritrea...

Entree is generally the main dish of a meal unless in Australia..

And it's pudding for me too.

hocus I agree.

Good one boosmummie

Dinner and tea for me

Haha!! As I'm not a native speaker, then err no...I really don't! Thanks though love.

I get pissed off with people who get pissed off over stupid things

Dinner is what you go out for, whatever time of day.

I have tea at 4pm and supper at 7.30pm
DH has tea at 4pm and tea also at 7.30pm, and supper at bedtime.

We were both brought up in the south of England, by northern parents. And now live in Yorkshire. It's very confusing.

Dinner or tea I can live with. Supper makes my teeth itch.

Always supper for me.

Isn't it summat to do with oldun days when the working class man had a big dinner to sustain him through his manual labour followed by a light tea. Or is it tother way round?

Only common Northern people call it tea, because that's what they have when they get home from t'mill.
