Am I the only one that doesn't use the word 'tea'?!

[BlondieLoxie]

Yesterday I was corrected for using the word dinner instead of tea!

Tea to me is the hot stuff in a cup which I love 😁 Dinner is dinner. Supper..what is that? Am I in the minority here that I simply say breakfast, lunch, dinner and possibly dessert.

Breakfast dinner tea

Breakfast, dinner, tea, pudding - but I am northern !! And cup of tea is a 'brew'.

Weirdly I say

Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Kids say

Breakfast, lunch, tea.

We all know what each other means though.

Breakfast lunch and tea. Dinner is in a restaurant

Dinner/tea is a regional thingthing.

Dessert/pudding is a class thing.

Breakfast dinner tea. Northern if that makes a difference

Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Tea is a drink and supper is a snack before bed

Breakfast lunch dinner. Londoner here. No Tea or Supper. Always find those terms weird on here. Especially as no one I know uses them here in London. But also not white British if that makes any difference. Is Supper posh?? No idea

Breakfast dinner and tea here the warm drinky stuff is a brew too. Yorkshire girl here

I say breakfast, lunch and dinner and dh says breakfast, dinner and tea. I agree op that tea is a drink and/or cake/scones.

I have breakfast, dinner and tea and sometimes a pudding haha. My children often have supper. To me, depending on how big their tea was, its something like porridge, a biscuit or a peice of toast. So just a little bit of something about an hour before they brush teeth and go to bed. I often have a cup of tea though to

Breakfast dinner tea

Breakfast, dinner, tea. Midlands

I'm also northern and also say a brew

Breakfast, lunch, dinner or tea. I use dinner and tea interchangeably for evening meal

Yes, you're the only person in the known universe that calls the evening meal dinner.

It's dinner if it's eaten after 7pm, tea before then. I use both, depending what time we have it . I make up my own rules. The midday meal is always lunch.

It could be worse, you could be calling it supper. That should only be used for the small meal eaten just before bed.

Breakfast Lunch Dinner. Tea is for drinking.

MIL has just confused me by saying she's bringing my nephews round after "dinner" by which she means lunch by which she means about 11am

Breakfast lunch dinner here.
If I went out for tea it'd be in the afternoon with tiny sandwiches and scones.

Anaske the first time I heard someone say brew I thought they meant soup (forrin and always lived in the south)

Breakfast lunch tea.

Breakfast lunch supper. Except when the children were little - they had tea and us adults had supper together later (Dh worked long hours back then)

Dinner is when you go out for evening dining

Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Unless the main meal is in the middle of the day, like a Sunday, then that's dinner and you have tea later.

Tea is sandwiches and cakes, like an afternoon tea.

I don't drink tea.

Tea to me a also hot stuff in a cup..

I say breakfast, dinner and supper though, from north of Scotland.

Hmm...well growing up it was breakfast, dinner and tea - but then we always had school dinners and I think even at home had a cooked meal in the middle of the day.

Now I say breakfast, lunch and dinner - but to me that means sandwich (or something light) in middle of the day and dinner in the evening is a cooked meal.

If it is a sandwich later on in the day for whatever reason, it obviously then reverts to tea :) So for me it depends on what is being consumed as much as when.

Exception to the rule is kids having a friend over, and then they are coming round for tea regardless of what is being eaten - I think it would sound odd to invite an 8yr old round for dinner!

Tea is a drink and maybe a cake, in the afternoon.

Dinner is the main meal of the day; which I serve in the evening.

Meals are breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Supper is a snack late evening.

I called it supper for ages! (Till the other kids made fun of me)
My English tutor used it he was called Rupert
