Dinner or tea

[Sophisticatedsarcasm]

I’ve been seeing all these memes on Facebook about wether it’s called dinner or tea.... so what do you say...
I’ve always said dinner, if someone says tea. I’m gonna say a little milk and 2 sugars please 😊

My son is autistic and calls all meals lunch so now we all do. It's not even weird to use anymore

Dinner - South East

I’m south east too 😊

Breakfast, lunch and dinner. My DH says Breakfast, dinner and tea. Forever a petty argument in my house

Supper

Tea. North West 😁

Dinner, South East

Tea is either the hot drink, or a meal / snack which is too late for lunch, and too late for dinner

Tea here in Scotland.

I'm in the north west, it's breakfast, lunch and tea for me!

Another one from the SE saying dinner!

Another from south east saying dinner. My parents in Yorkshire say tea.

Always used to be dinner ladies, school dinners and dinner money though. Think they are known as lunchtime supervision assistants these days. Have heard of school lunches. Never lunch money yet though!

We have dinner. The kids have tea when they eat before us. My mother has supper.

SE.

Supper. SE.

SE, dinner
DP from midlands and says tea, it's a running joke in our house!

Don't think I say either. Pretty sure I call every meal 'food'.

I like my big meal first thing. I was eating a pizza at about 8am today.

If we go out, it’s for dinner, but at home, it’s tea. We’re in the East Mids.

Tea is at 5 for kids, dinner is after 7. Supper is for posh twats, or actual supper before bed - warm milk and toast.

If you're in Yorkshire, it's tea!

St Matthew's meal. I've never heard it called anything else.

Dinner is the main meal of the day, whether it's eaten in the middle of the day or the evening

Hence school dinners (hot food) served by dinner ladies - as the hot meal is the main meal of the day

A Sunday roast is the main meal of the day, as is a Xmas roast - so they're Sunday and Xmas dinner.

But sandwiches are a packed lunch - because it's assumed there will be a hot main meal in the evening

Most people wouldn't call a sandwich and packet of crisps a packed dinner

The main meal of the day is generally in the evening, so it's breakfast / lunch / dinner.

Tea is a light meal around 5-6 that a small child eats, if they eat separately from the adults.

Dinner is the main evening meal. 6pm onwards.

Restaurants have lunch and dinner menus

They don't have dinner and tea menus

ACAS and the UK government refer to the midday break for workers as a lunch break

Tea, north west

The kids have tea, we have dinner later. South east x

We say tea (north west)

Yeah bananafish. And no supper, unless you're in an Enid Blyton book.
