Breakfast, dinner and tea

[fisil]

That's what I eat, every day. Someone on another thread was saying you only have dinner in the middle of the day if it's your main meal. I don't, tea's my main meal.

So what do most people have?

[WideWebWitch]

breakfast, lunch, supper although the children might have tea sometimes, dinner.

[oooggs]

Breakfast, lunch & tea. But I ask DH what he wants for dinner at 5pm and he had dinner at lunchtime.

It still confuses me.

lunch
tea for kids supper for us

Only posh people say 'supper' don't they?!

trough 1, trough 2 and trough 3 in our house.

Breakfast, lunch, tea for the kids (as they eat around 5pm) and dinner for us as we eat later (8pm). Never understood why people call their evening meal supper - as a kid this was always a snack before bed.

(I think the word 'supper' is quite posh)

Potty, I'm actually heaving at your school dinner description...

When I was growing up it was always breakfast, dinner, tea and then supper. More often now though I tend to say breakfast, lunch and dinner.

And our evening meal (whether called dinner or tea) is nearly always the main meal of the day.

according to dh's book 'The English' breakfast, dinner, tea is posher than breakfast lunch & dinner.

supper is super posh.

Me very smug as he has always scoffed at me for calling it dinner not lunch. Now our poor kids are very confused as to what we eat when.

also pudding is much posher than dessert.

i must be dead posh, me

let's face it - its a fashion thing - sad tho that is. It's like saying 'drizzle over the olive oil' where you would have said 'pour' before. You could call it a 'snob thing
