Isn’t dinner just the cooked/largest meal of the day, regardless of when it occurs, and tea comes from afternoon tea and high tea?
And lunch happens in the middle of the day, otherwise we wouldn’t have brunch.
Apparently, dinner originally meant breakfast from the Old French "disner", meaning to break the fast, essentially de-fast.
Supper is from the Old French "soper" which just means soup-er
What a world.
Oh yeah, I’d forgotten about the French, and it’s been a long time since my GCSE French lessons but wasn’t petit-déjeuner breakfast? Is that a more modern invention?
Yep, dinner is the big hot one, lunch/tea is the small (sometimes) cold one
Tea is something that you drink, not eat.
You've clearly never heard of iced tea.
Is he related to Mr T?
My mom continues to insist that something called "supper" exists, which replaces dinner.
No, supper is a light, late evening meal.
It can be either a replacement for dinner, or a later evening snack.
Don’t forget linner and dunch
