To wonder what those who call lunch ‘dinner’

[Sexnotgender]

Call brunch?

Do you still call it brunch?

For avoidance of doubt a bread roll is a cob bread cake.

a pedestrian pathway between rounds is a channel footpath, path of corsy.

a passage between houses (esp those with a flying freedhold) is called an entry a ginnel.

Sorry, typo. path of or corsy.

I don't have any kind of supper. Does anyone here have 'kitchen suppers'?

What a ridiculous question

Why are they Called Dinner ladies and not Lunch Ladies ?

Tea is afternoon snack!

Why are they Called Dinner ladies and not Lunch Ladies ?

Because they used to cook an evening meal (dinner) although they served it at lunchtime.

If tea is a meal, how do you ask someone if they want a cup of tea with it? "Do you want tea with your tea?"

And if a friend comes round early evening, and you want to offer them a cup of tea, how do you do that without them thinking they are being offered an evening meal?

Breakfast/lunch/dinner. Anything else is daft.

Second Breakfast. Followed by Elevenses.

It's still be brunch I reckon.

The though when I used breakfast, dinner and tea when growing up rather than now and brunch didn't exist at all!!! We did have supper though but that was a very small snacking meal after tea and before bed.

If tea is a meal, how do you ask someone if they want a cup of tea with it? "Do you want tea with your tea?"

I grew up in a household where the evening meal was tea. A cup of tea was a 'cuppa' or a 'brew', not 'tea'.

I don’t have brunch because I’m from Yorkshire. DP refers to brunch when he’s thinking that he can con me out of a meal.

Rottnest do they have dinner followed by supper?

It's breakfast, lunch and dinner in my house. My grandad thinks I've turned posh now I use the word lunch 😂 They have breakfast, tea around 4pm then supper 8ish.

Tea is your evening meal and a cup of tea is a brew....or a cuppa or even just a cup of tea.

The word 'tea' on its own is a meal

I love when foreigners try and navigate their way through the complexities of the word tea. Even British people can't reach consensus on what it means

My lovely MIL confused muchly by inviting us round for ‘Sunday Lunch’ but, as DP explained, was actually referring to the evening meal!

** confused ME muchly

Erm, you say cup of tea. Or cuppa. It's not hard.

Breakfast/lunch/dinner. Anything else is daft

In your opinion. Otherwise, you're saying other regions and cultures are daft, and that wouldn't be nice, would it?

Brunch is th best meal, basically means a fry up or similar late morning negating the need for breakfast or lunch.

I had never heard of brunch until I was in early '20s. I love the idea but it's not a meal I have very often, more likely to have a late breakfast or an early lunch.

It's a class distinction for dinner and tea, but brunch is a more modern invention so not part of the class rules. Therefore, it's brunch to everyone.

Did you never have dinner ladies OP.

Yes I did. But I also had a lunchbox...

Brunch is brunch...not quite breakfastas it’s too late. Too early for lunch, it’s BRUNCH. Calling lunch ‘dinner’ or dinner supper or calling supper Sweet-fanny-piss-flaps doesn’t change what brunch is.

Elevenses.

And "those who call lunch 'dinner' " are known as the "working classes". Long may they prosper
