We slept a little longer on the Lord's Day, went to Church about 10 am, had a big DINNER at noon and a light Supper around 6 pm and always got a good Sunday afternoon nap. We thought only the rich called Supper DINNER. This was somewhat seasonal. The schedule was adjusted in the winter and after school started. We were not a social group. Just worked.



Good grief..if I tried carrying that pace Id end up as wide as I am tall... laugh

Kinda like jediknight except breakfast is around 4 or 5, lunch at 9, dinner at noon, lunch at 3, supper around 6, the lunches are pretty light like a cup of coffee and a donut or maybe a cheese sandwich.

While growing up in Kansas, we ate breakfast, dinner and supper. More and more people seem to be calling the noon meal lunch.

supper vs dinner



+9
"Dinner" is typically the main or largest meal of the day, eaten in the evening or at midday, while "supper" is a lighter, more casual meal served later in the evening. Dinner is often more formal or substantial, whereas supper is considered homey, comfortable, and sometimes refers to leftovers.

Key Differences:
Formality: Dinner is often used for larger, formal meals (e.g., Sunday roast), whereas supper is commonly casual and relaxed.
Timing: Dinner is typically the main, larger meal of the day, while supper is often eaten later in the evening.
Regional Usage: "Supper" is still frequently used in the American South, Midwest, and parts of the UK. In some areas, "dinner" refers to the midday meal and "supper" refers to the evening meal.
Origins: "Dinner" comes from the French dīner, meaning to dine. "Supper" stems from the idea of "souper," which implies a lighter, soup-based meal.

In many households, these terms are used interchangeably for the evening meal


Was always Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Dinner, and Supper and when hunger to hold you over, a snack.
Breakfast in the morning, lunch in school or at work, supper in the evening. On Sunday ... Brunch after church, Dinner (main meal), and a late supper.

Around our house supper is the evening meal at home, and dinner is the rare occasion that I get to bring my bride to a restaurant for an evening meal.
