What Time Is Dinner Time?

[Hilary B]

Supper/dinner, when the work is actually FINISHED (but not before 6, unless we've got to go out again just after), aim for 6.30 on a good day, but 10 has been known.
In Spain, few restaurants that serve evening meals open until 8, and not many diners before 9.30.

Mr Wix drives me crazy if he's cooking, it often isn't ready til after 7, and heading for 8pm. That, I think, is far, far too late when the youngest is going to bed at 8 o'clock. Plus I'm ready to start eating my own limbs by then. For me, 6 o'clock is perfect, 6.30 latest.

We say breakfast, lunch and tea. Supper is the couple of biscuits or a jam sandwich and a glass of milk that the kids have before bed.

.....or if I am having 'motivational issues' in which case it could be anytimeatall.

LOL I thought it was just me. Like now - should be getting dinner ready and here I am reading a thread about dinner/supper/tea

Brakfast, lunch, tea, simples lol. Tea is served between 6 and 7pm when OH gets in during the week and between 7 and 9pm at weekends, why ???? cos OH cooks at weekends and he gets up later so all meals are later lol.

No, I've had to get ours on as I'm at photo club tonight and still haven't printed anything out. I'm such a lush.

Breakfast, dinner and tea here too. Supper as a kid was a biccie before bed or what posh people called tea. Ideally I'd eat my tea at about 8ish but we compromise on 7.30. Any earlier and I'd never get anything done after work. Was round the mother in law's yesterday and massive big tea was served up at about 5, just after we'd walked through the door. Bless her, it was lovely but it does my head in and I just feel over faced. Like to get it and sort myself out before being force fed.

It's breakfast lunch and dinner.
Breakfast is 6:30 (), lunch at 12:30 and dinner can be anytime from 6:30 to 9:30

you get really long days when you commute to work

I try to get dinner done and dusted by about 6 where possible, especially in term time, if I am not organised or just generally in a 'sod it' mood it could be as late as 8.30 which is mostly Friday nights or when we are on holiday. I've found I'm much more organised if I DON'T ask himself what he fancies for dinner, I decide and then just do it!!

If the offspring are peckish later on they can have biscuits fruit or a bit of cake if I have made one.

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner here (although it's 'Supper' at the In-law's!) Tea is late afternoon with cakes/scones etc innit? Well it was when my Nan was about anyway!

We usually eat between 8 and 9 although I'd prefer earlier, it just never happens - especially when the evenings are light.
