That's not a Tennessee thing, that's just something from farming areas all over the South. Dinner is the main meal of the day and is served in the middle of the day when people need the most nourishment.

And it's the same in France (my 2nd home). French farmers refer to the noon meal as le dîner and the evening meal as le souper.

My grandparents called it the same, too. Supper was at night. Dinner was lunch. And you went over there after church to have Sunday dinner. A lot of New Englanders called it that.

Must be something from "the old country."

And then there is me, a country girl. I don't care if you call it dinner or supper; just make sure you call me.

Where I came from dinner and supper are the same thing, in the afternoon we call it "lunch" actually still do
