In the South and everywhere else in the World

Breakfast

Lunch

Tea

Dinner

Tea time being the light snack at about 4.00pm in between lunch and dinner.

Northerners, please correct your mealtimes to reflect its correct format.

Obviously, you must have it wrong because tea was not even introduced to Britain until a couple of hundred years ago.

The Countess of Sandwich introduced tea and little squares of bread with cucumber in between as a light snack in the mid-afternoon to tide over the hunger and boredom before dinner that night.

Hence, tea time at 4.00pm, not as a meal in the evening.

Thank you.

It’s:

Breakfast

Lunch

Afternoon tea

Dinner

Supper

Supper is a light snack if you’re still a little peckish in the evening, after dinner and before bedtime.

Correct!!

And as for this ‘going out for supper’ business....

In one of his excellent books, Stuart Maconie describes how his agent invited him ‘round for supper’

He writes how he had visions of sitting in his dressing gown, eating cheese & crackers...

He is from Wigan, but given his books, l won’t hold that against him

Yes, all right, Yorkshire, that’s getting a bit father North and I’m a little more scared. It’s getting darker and the sun is starting to lose its brilliance in this cold, forbidden realm.

Just to throw another spanner in the works. I think the names are not dependant on the time, but the size of the meal. Dinner is usually the largest meal of the day. So it can be moved to the two major positions lol.

It means they’ll get the bits that make up a sandwich and will take you to the park for a jolly nice picnic at some point during day in order to consume said food.

If it’s raining, you can consume the food in the car, I presume.l, with a jolly nice view, I hope.

That means I can cover all bases when I invite you to dinner then? If I’m late, I’ll simply claim I meant the meal in the evening.

No, it was public.
