My family said it but my wife’s family says dinner so that term has taken over in our household. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really don’t describe the same meal. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead Posted September 22, 2020 Share #5 Posted September 22, 2020 Dinner at lunch and supper in the evening in my childhood. My ancestors were farmers and my grandparents are traditional. One of my girls gave the teacher sass when the teacher corrected her in a comment about going to the cafeteria for lunch. We don’t use dinner so much any more. Just breakfast, lunch and supper. The terms “supper” and “dinner” can be used pretty interchangeably, but “dinner” is typically used more often. Regardless, if someone says one or the other, most people will know they’re referring to the last meal of the day. But we came across some shocking news: they’re not the same thing after all—and if your grandparents or parents used the term “supper,” there’s a good chance your ancestors were farmers. “[In the 18th and early 19th centuries,] Americans regularly ate a light supper as their evening meal because they were eating dinner—the biggest meal of the day—around noon,” food historian Helen Zoe Veit told NPR. The purpose of eating their biggest meal at noontime was so farmers would have more strength and energy to get through the rest of their workday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our big meal is being consumed before bed. ? We don't work like farmers, with the exception of people like @sheep_herder But, he is a rancher not a farmer from what I gather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzoo Posted September 23, 2020 Share #9 Posted September 23, 2020 Growing up it was breakfast, lunch and supper. A farmer I worked for it was breakfast, dinner, and supper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Grandmother grew up in a farming community in the Catskills and when we went to the Catskills during the summer, our big meal was also early afternoon and then we'd have a light supper in the evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted September 23, 2020 Share #12 Posted September 23, 2020 I grew up with breakfast, dinner and supper. Dinner was lunch if not eaten at home (as in a bag lunch) East coast Canada, it was always supper in the evening and dinner at mid day growing up and is still spoken that way for the most part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
