    Tea = meal in the evening
    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 ;)

    Lunch is minor meal during the day.
    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.

    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.

    For me it's
    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 :)

    Well for my mum and brother it is different.
    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.

    ok here is is my odd take on it:

    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

    They're also puddings.

    Suet for puddings, pastry for pies.

    Who's the plonker now? :p

    Because dinner can be in the day too. Dinner comes from the French word dîner meaning main meal of the day.

    Tea is drink.

    Just to confuse things further, when we were growing up the evening meal was always called supper.

    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 ;)
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I use supper/dinner depending on the mood ;)

    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:
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Tonight...I'm not sure maybe a sandwhich. I'm running low of food.

    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 :p

    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.
