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.
