"Supper" is a lighter evening meal, "lunch" is a lighter midday meal.<br /><br />Given my druthers (e.g., if I didn't have to leave the house to work), I'd eat "dinner" at noon and have a v. light "tea" at about 6 pm (maybe a small sandwich and fruit). But I gotta work for a living and it's hard to carry a full proper meal with you* (especially if a microwave, and a dodgy one at that, is the only way to heat stuff). So I eat sort of a snack at lunchtime and typically a big early dinner between 5 and 6:30 depending.<br /><br />(*Though to be honest, that's mainly a disinclination to do a great deal of planning and prep at 6 am when I'm getting ready for work)fillyjonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016436113169230368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-45930246598697561622017-04-11T09:12:15.396-04:002017-04-11T09:12:15.396-04:00Somewhat the same here.

Some places don't even have "supper", which must make them pretty hungry by Sunday.John Peddie (Toronto)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13352390633776699430noreply@blogger.com
