Which meal do you call which? I am in the strange position that at home I call them lunch and dinner but when I go back to my parents I still use dinner and tea.

I suppose it depends on the time of day and the type of meal.

I would class dinner and a sunday roast or a meat & 2 veg family meal around the table at late afternoon.


I'm a late riser so I usually miss lunch and have tea and supper

Lunch and Dinner. I hate it when the midday meal is called Dinner, it sounds so wrong.

It's dinner and tea for me, although strangely if I go out with a friend for a meal at midday I say we are going out for lunch.
I guess it's because we noramlly have the main meal at midday and sandwiches in the evening, so I think your main meal is normally your dinner, but maybe thats just me.

Dinner is the main meal of the day whenever you have it.

If you are a wage slave and you're employer doesn't allow a 2 hour break during the day, then obviously it will have to be in the evening, while you have a crappy sandwich between 12 and 2 to keep you going.

It is healthier and better to eat the largest meal of the day around midday.

Depends who I am talking to.

I was brought up a dinner and tea person but most of my current friends have "dinner" in the evening, even if it's just a light snack.

I say dinner & tea, isn't it more of a North/South thing though?

Lunch and dinner. Tea is at 4pm and is literally that, with a biscuit or slice of cake if I am lucky.
