What time do you have your main/last meal?

About 7.30 here. Sometimes more like 8.
Dates back to when dh was working and would never be home before 7.

If we ate much earlier I’m sure we’d be prowling around the kitchen looking for top-ups before bedtime. I do think a main meal at lunchtime is supposed to be better - I’ve noticed that on the few occasions we have a bigger lunch out, we feel a lot less hungry later.
But it does make me want to have a siesta.

We are quite early, between 6.30 and 7.

I was chatting to a friend on the phone today and said I was eating my evening meal earlier and was thinking of having my main meal at lunchtime.
I really don’t want to as I will be dozy all afternoon but I am not hungry or enjoying my meal at 6:30pm, our normal time.

I was amazed when she said she and her husband had their meal at 8;30.
They are 88 and 80.
I don’t know how their digestive systems cope with that and how they sleep after what I consider a very late meal.
Each to his own but it got me wondering what time is most popular.
