Same here. Was never a religious thing in my house growing up. If you were hungry just go have something. Wasn't until I started staying with my ex at her parents that I realised some people actually have supper all the time. Same with breakfast. Never been a huge breakfast person. Sometimes I'll eat, sometimes I won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWJ Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Can’t stand the term ‘evening meal’ - call it tea, dinner or supper. If I ask people round for ‘supper’ I mean come and have whatever we’re having. ‘Round for dinner’ to me means make a bit of an effort, cook something special, get the good napkins out etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byyy The Light Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I use dinner/lunch without much thought so mix them up a bit. Tea is evening meal after work. Supper usually a bowl of cereal/bit of toast and cup of tea. My kids use lunch, tea and supper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankblack Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 My dinner is usually later so supper is never a thing for me. By the time I finish my dinner its probably time for other people's supper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 We never, ever eat breakfast. We don’t eat anything until around 2.00pm. At school, lunch time was known as dinner time. We now call it lunch. The evening meal was tea. We still call it that. When we invite folk over for the evening, we invite them for ‘a meal’. It’s probably all very confusing for non-Scottish folk! As for supper, we call it wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I’m working it’s dinner around 6.00 pm and for supper its usually tea and toast about 1/2 hour before bed, if not working ( most days now) we usually have a late lunch and dinner about 8.00pm and maybe a chocolate biscuit and tea for supper 1/2 before bed. A Saturday night is an Indian or Chinese and a few beers about 9.00pm and fall asleep on the couch 👍. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
