Dinner or Supper

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Tea. My middle-class wife calls it 'Dinner' and thinks I'm an irredeemable council estate chav when I ask "What's for tea?"

Breakfast
Dinner
Tea

ditto. Although it is more a northern thing in our family.

My wife now grudgingly accepts it is tea for anything before 6pm.

 

[London Calling]

tea then supper

 

[Woodchip]

dinner.

supper is when you have a bowl of cereal at about 9 oclock or before you go to bed.

 

[Croydonbloke]

The correct sequence is, I believe:

Breakfast
Elevenses
Lunch
Tea
Dinner
Supper

That`s a fat boys eating regime. You do not need elevenses after Breakfast and you don`t need tea after lunch, you certainly don`t need anything to eat after eating your dinner in the evening. The answer to the thread is Dinner.

 

[Nibble]

Breakfast (Toast, coffee, cig)
Snack (Hula Hoops)
Lunch (shit sandwhich from Boots)
Snack (Penguin bar)
Dinner/tea (Meat, veg, potato)
Pudding (beer and cigs)
Supper (Massive wank)

end of.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

I was brought up on "supper" but in adulthood have found very few kindred spirits... to such an extent that I gave up referring to "supper" a long time ago...

But which term have you chosen to replace your childhood vocabulary I hear you cry?

definitely not "tea" (that is an interval during a cricket match...)
and not "dinner" either (that is a social occasion)

I generally avoid the issue by the use of constructions such as "What are we going to eat tonight?" but if pushed into labelling the event (e.g. on an itinerary) I would go for...

"Evening Meal"....

 

[Scotty Mac]

supper is my second evening meal - the first one i would qualify as dinner

 

[Icy Gull]

I'm really confused here, I eat one meal at night what's all this dinner followed by supper crap Do you lot really eat twice at night?

For the record my understanding is that lunch is lunch definitely not dinner.

Dinner is something you go out for or have people in for or a romantic tete a tete evening meal with your other half.

What you eat of an evening is your supper.

I accept that I am in the minority here but will not disclose this defeat to the person that I'm arguing with and just hope he doesn't have a look on here!
