The main meal of the day is Dinner.

Most of the time that is the evening meal, except for Sundays.

Conflicted. I think breakfast, lunch and dinner but we often refer to the evening meal as tea around here. Though you would not really say I went out to tea, do you? And if so, should it be refered to as evening tea not to confuse it with thr afternoon one?

Does 'tea' involve drinking tea?

Breakfast, lunch, dinner for me to signify time.

People who drink tea may have an afternoon/evening tea between lunch and dinner, but for me, I just call it evening snack.

Supper. You drink tea. If it’s a good tea, cake is involved. If it’s your meal in the evening, then it’s supper.

The hot evening meal is dinner for me. Tea can be had in the middle of the day or the evening and is more like a buffet style meal, sandwiches, cheese and crackers, etc

Lunch, or if breakfast is not taken then lunch becomes Brunch.

Dinner, although in my circle of friends we now refer to it as Supper and most invitations are for Supper not Dinner.

Where I come from (the colonies) it's supper.

Tea is a drink, or scones and Earl Grey at 4pm.

Dinner is a more formal evening meal, either in a restaurant, or to mark an occasion if had at home (cooking dinner for your love, for example)

I still think it's odd to hear it called tea.

It's breakfast lunch and dinner

Breakfast because it's breakfast

Lunch because you get lunch menus at afternoon in every eating place you go in. You also get brunch which is between breakfast and lunch.

Dinner is your evening meal

And for those who are arguing dinner ladies. They were called that in olden times as the midday meal was the main meal of the day

It's breakfast lunch and dinner according to Wikipedia also

Dinner is not the evening meal. Dinner is the main meal, whenever it takes place.

I have always called it ma tea.

Stand up arguments in the hoose. wife is adamant that it's dinner, explains it to me, everytime I mention it...

I'm the edinburgher, she's a fifer..

Which I find even more hilarious that I say it the old way and she is the nay sayer...

"Conflicted. I think breakfast, lunch and dinner but we often refer to the evening meal as tea around here. Though you would not really say I went out to tea, do you? And if so, should it be refered to as evening tea not to confuse it with thr afternoon one? "

If I go out to eat in the evening I say I went out for tea. Nobody where I live would even think I meant afternoon tea.

Afternoon tea is an occasional treat and always given its full title whereas just saying tea means your evening meal.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner...

If you have a snack mid morning it's called brunch not brinner

Plus you have a lunch break at work or a tea break not a dinner break.

There will always be this divide between north and south
