Dinner is in the middle of the day!
I bet you say desert not pudding too!
(and yes I am from up North )
Dinner = hot meal in the middle of the day
Lunch = cold meal in the middle of the day
Supper = excuse to eat more after tea
and I am a Southerner too
Haha that pretty much sums it up :thumb:
Supper is minor meal in the evening.
Dinner means the main meal of the day so it can be either.
And tea is something you drink.
I say desert when I'm talking about a region without much precipitation i.e the Sahara.
I say dessert when I'm talking about the last course of the meal.
Pudding can a sweet dessert such as spotted dick, but it can also be a savoury main course such as steak and ale pudding.
Damn I always get those two mixed up!
By the way its Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner/Tea, being the same thing, either hot or cold it doesnt matter which. You Northerners seem to have loads of meals a day!
Pudding is for afters.
Even if if it's Steak&Ale or Lamb&Mint?
Pudding's a category of food, it's not a name of a course.
Tea = evening meal
Dinner = meal around 12pm
Lunch = doesn't exist in my world hehe
Supper = excuse to eat more after tea
I'm a Northerner
Lunch= Around 12ish
Dinner= Around 5:30ish
There are three main meals not 5 or 6
Breakfast,
Lunch,
Dinner.
And thats it really.
Unless it is on a Sunday.
When there is roast.
And it goes like this: -
Breakfast,
Lunch (being the roast),
Tea (when they have cakes and stuff liek that).
Well thats what we call it.
I think it is to peoples personal preference what they want to call them.
The way I see it :thumb:
breakfast 6-9 anything after than is brunch
lunch 1-3
dinner 6-8 (though its more likey to be 10 these days)
supper anything after that
tea is always with cakes and jazz and rarely happens
Suck on that!
Ours are lunch time supervisors.
Same ours are Lunchtime Ladies.
They're pies, you plonker.
Like Yorkshire puddings?
It's breakfast, lunch and then dinner btw like Cool2play22 said!
They're also puddings.
Suet for puddings, pastry for pies.
Who's the plonker now?
Because dinner can be in the day too. Dinner comes from the French word dîner meaning main meal of the day.
Tea is drink.
ETA: Hadn't seen that some others have mentioned supper too. Does it really matter either way though?
Good stuff, I will be around about 7pm
One thing that grates my nerves is when the posh lot at my med school call supper 'sups'. Argh! "Hey bun-bun, shall we go for sups?" :sour:
For me I say breakfast, dinner and tea...supper doesn't exist for me! And to me puddings are desserts
And yep I am a northerner
So when do you have lunch then?
And you never have steak and ale or yourkshire pudding then?
I don't call it lunch to me it's dinner and always has been and I'll have that between 12 and 4. Everybody I know calls it that even when I was at school etc. Nope it's steak and ale pie, not pudding
Yorkshire puds are an expcetion though.
