And snacks between snacks. And snacks between between snacks snacks. In other words you don't stop eating. Ever.

[scorch]

I do!

 

Sometimes.

 

When sleeping.

 

Or talking.

 

Or sniping. (the chewing action throws off my aim)

[Punkypink]

On the bog too?

[scorch]

No, not there either.

 

That would be unhygienic.

[Hammerfall]

For me it is:

 

Breakfast/Lunch/Tea

[Punkypink]

Ok I really want to know why in some places people call their noon-time meal dinner instead of lunch, and why is the evening meal called supper rather than dinner. These sort of cultural things really intrigue me, I'd love to find out why that is so

[Jenbu]

i dont know why but here we use dinner or lunch for mid day and tea for evernings.

[Punkypink]

I am really really really interested in finding out why.

[helping_hand]

As long as I can remember around here (Brum) the majority of people I know have referred to lunch as dinner and dinner as tea.

Perhaps it's due to the fact they don't have afternoon tea that they go and play freestyle with the order of things? Could just be a regional thing too.

 

Just my 2p

I think, I've found out why now. Dinner is the main meal of the day. Lunch tends to be a small quick affair. So if your main meal is at noon then that's dinner. If not, and it's the 3rd meal of the day in the evening, then that's dinner.

 

But whether town or country, wherever the dominant industry of an area involves hard labor (e.g., farming, mining, timber trade), the midday meal is an important feature because it divides the day's labor in half and provides well-earned refreshment. The evening meal is smaller than the midday meal and is commonly called 'supper'. In Scotland and northern England, supper is almost invariably called 'tea' (specifically, "high tea" - which does not indicate high formality but indicates that some kind of meat, fish, etc., is being served).

 

People who live in cities and towns, and especially those who work in "white collar" positions, typically eat dinner in the evening. Their midday meal is called lunch (or luncheon) and is often a small and quick meal, although a business lunch can be large, heavy and protracted.

 

The word "dinner" comes from the French word dîner, the "main meal of the day", from Old French disner.

[Habakure]

I always use "supper" as a meal generally like toast or something before bed, its a suppliment to the main three meals of the day (And so has to be after breakfast/brunch, lunch/dinner. tea/dinner and then supper).
