Guest guest Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 In my neck of the woods folks use dinner and supper interchangably. But in my house we rarely use the word supper. Dinner refers mostly to the larger late day meal unless we are eating it at mid-day. The typical small mid-day meal is called lunch... the three or four o'clock tea is but a snack. ~ PT ~ The believer is happy; the doubter is wise. ~ Hungarian proverb ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~~~~~~> , " Megan Milligan " < yasminduran@c...> wrote: > isn't dinner considered the midday meal & supper the evening? or do i just have my meals reversed? :-) > > Megan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 i thought dinner and supper were the same meal. of course where i'm from (wisconsin), no one ever really stops eating because there's nothing else to do... , " Megan Milligan " <yasminduran@c...> wrote: > isn't dinner considered the midday meal & supper the evening? or do i just have my meals reversed? :-) > > Megan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 well, where I grew up Lunch is lunch & supper & dinner are interchangeable for the evening meal. but i know other people think of lunch as dinner/supper and I keep getting the distinctions of those two mixed up. hell, i'll just stick to lunch & supper. i'm cramming too much info into my head with studying for my masters degree exam anyway. lololol M. - i thought dinner and supper were the same meal. of course where i'm from (wisconsin), no one ever really stops eating because there's nothing else to do...
