Please help me win an argument

What is the meal called that you eat at 12pm?

Lunch, if I bother with it. It is a sandwich or other light snack. Dinner is the main meal in the evening.

For my parents though the midday meal is dinner.

Lunch. We have three meals at our house; breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I'm in the US, btw.

Dinner ladies not lunch ladies
Q.E.D

Just to add an extra level of difference, we say lunch if it's sandwiches etc but dinner if it's a cooked meal. Then if we have sandwiches in the evening it's tea, otherwise it's dinner.

We have breakfast dinner and tea I'm in the north

Lunch, unless it's Sunday.

Oop North it's dinner

You have school dinners

Breakfast dinner Tea supper

Lunch

Lunch. Christmas meal though, is dinner, regardless of time of day!

My dd2, who is the only one of us actually born in Yorkshire (we live in Sheffield now) aged about 4 gravely pronounced "it can't be dinner, there's no gravy"
So if there's gravy, it's dinner. If not, lunch.

Exactly as DontBuyANewMumCashmere described. Generally lunch, but sometimes can be a middle of the day dinner (e.g. Christmas day, or occasional Sundays when I can be bothered to do a roast.)

Lunch.

Lunch Then

dinner or tea,

I'm just about have some supper.

It's lunch or dinner depending on geographical location and class

Like others breakfast,lunch if light,dinner if it is the main meal.Dinner in the evening,tea if it is a lighter meal following earlier dinner.Super is a late snack.

But I call it lunch and I am not even remotely southern. Looks like I lost the argument.

Luncheon

Lunch.

I live in the north of England though and the 'dinner' thing at midday constantly causes confusion!

I remember a colleague asking me to go out for dinner with him...I was pretty taken aback until I realised he meant 'go and grab a sandwich.'

Lunch

Lunch

Dinner is the evening meal

Dinner = middle of the day

Lunch.

Breakfast, lunch and supper here.

And dinner ladies are called lunchtime controllers these days which lends to lunch being right?

It's lunch if it's a sandwich
And dinner if gravy is involved
