Ask a Question
Just a bit of fun but what do you call your evening meal ? Is it Tea,Supper,Dinner or something else?
For me it is tea but my eldest calls it dinner and wondered what you call your evening meal .
I call it dinner because that is what my mum called it. For me supper is what you have later in the evening, like a snack after dinner but before bed.
Tea is sandwiches, cakes etc in the afternoon. Lunch is midday meal and dinner is evening meal.
Dinner or tea for us in the evening, then lunch is midday simply because that's what my parents always called it.
For me it's called dinner, but when I was younger my mother used to call it supper, these days it seems the younger generation are calling it their scran, I've no idea why though.
If it is your main meal of the day, whether in the middle of evening, it can be called dinner. When women were predominantly housewives dinner was usually in the middle of the day. My aunt would keep back uncle's dinner for when he got in after work, I used to feel a bit sorry for him!
I call it dinner
, after 12 its lunch, and supper is later in the evening thats the way my family were brought up 
It really depends what we are eating. If it is a cooked meal in the evening it is called dinner but if we had a cooked meal at lunch then we will have a cold tea.
Dinner. Dinner in our household includes a sweet course. Occasionally we might "go posh" and have a starter.
Breakfast in the morning. Lunch mid-day.Supper(don't eat this but would be a snack about 6ish.Dinner aka Evening meal evening 6 onwards followed by pudding or afters.
Dinner. i dunno why but i feel like it was called Tea when we were kids because it would be at an earlier time. I dunno lol.
Tea expect on a Sunday when it's dinner as we always have a roast and it's usually around 6.00pm
I like three meals a day. Breakfast, dinner and TEA, As long as I am being fed though I am not too worried what we are calling it.
If I'm supporting at one side of Sheffield it's Dinner but at the other end it's Tea!!
Tea is a drink ;). Its dinner in our house, supper is before going to bed and lunch is at lunchtime
My evening meal has always been called dinner in my household. I wouldn't call it anything else 
We always call our evening meal dinner, always have done but sometimes we have ’dinner’ at lunch time and that gets confusing.
