What times do you usually have your meals? (breakfast, liquor, dinner)

[Steveo1]

So today
I had breakfast at 07.30

Lunch at 13.20

Dinner at 17.30

Supper at 19.30

When I am hungry, our home is not regimented when it comes to many things and food is one of those things.
Some days I am hungry when wake and other days I am not hungry until mid afternoon.
Mr. CSD is always eating something.

I don't get the dinner and supper thing, unless dinner is what we (Brits) call "Tea." Here, in Dixie, I've noticed the locals referring to lunch as dinner.

We don't keep regular hours so usually it's whenever the food is done!

Some people call lunch dinner in certain parts of the UK also. Us oiks did where I grew up. The school cafeteria workers, in this vein, were called the "dinner ladies." Our evening meal was called tea.


According to the Wiki entry on Tea that makes me common and you posh:


"In the North of England, North and South Wales, the English Midlands, Scotland and in rural and working class areas of Ireland, people traditionally call their midday meal dinner and their evening meal tea (served around 6 pm), whereas the upper social classes would call the midday meal lunch or luncheon and the evening meal (served after 7 pm) dinner (if formal) or supper (if informal).[SIZE=2][9][/SIZE] This differentiation in usage is one of the classic social markers of British English"

I do love my pie and mash with parsley liquor - and jellied eels. We lived next door to a pie and mash shop and across the street from a chippy.

Normally me, when I get hungry. That could be whenever or never.

Husband, I'd say 7:00 (I'm still sleeping so I don't know) for breakfast, 11:30-ish for lunch, 4:30/5:00 dinner.

Dinner versus supper:

Me growing up, we had lunch (around noon), supper (around 6:30) and "dinner" was reserved for mid-afternoon huge meals like for the holidays.

Husband growing up, he had lunch (around noon), and dinner (last big meal of the day).

What we NOW call them - lunch and dinner.
