  Wait until you have family that say that daily meals are chronologically “breakfast, dinner, and supper.”

    WHERE THE FUCK IS LUNCH @_@

    Are you telling me they call lunch “dinner”?!

      Yup! Or more specifically, “noon dinner.”

      It might be a Midwest farming thing where there are multiple snack times between chores outside. Two generations ago, my family had a quick 5 a.m. breakfast and lunch (or second breakfast) in the morning These weren’t full meals in the traditional sense. Dinner meant coming in and sitting at the table for a prepared meal. Otherwise it was just stopping in the house for a small bite and a drink.

      In the afternoon, they had tea time at 3 p.m. (black tea with snack cakes or open-face sandwiches). By evening, there’d be a last big meal (supper) before going to bed.

      It was super confusing for me being the first generation that didn’t grow up on the farm.

    Others do, it’s a Midwestern thing.

    Where I’m from, it’s interchangeable.

  It’s kind of Bostonian too, but then it’s pronounced “suppah”.

  Supper is eaten from 4-6 while dinner is eaten from 5-7 in my experience. Dinner is usually a heavier meal than supper, as well.
