It’s been a while so I will start us off…….whats for supper and why?

I've just had toast and homemade smoked mackerel pate. Tonight I will have a baked potato with cheese and beans.

Porridge with chai and tinned peaches in juice

Greek salad- pear

Fish pie, runner beans and peas.- kiwi

Canellini potato broccoli curry, sultana chutney, salad, fruit

What? Frozen pizza.
Why? No washing up!

Home made spinach and coconut dhal and naan breads, we also had some mango chutney my husband made some weeks ago.
All done in the Thermomix.

Steak and salad for me.

Steak, chips and mushrooms for DH and GS. GS will also dive into the coleslaw and cucumber

I had planned to make a cottage pie , with a potato and celeriac topping, for dinner this evening. But I went out with friends for lunch and didn’t feel like cooking when I got home. So DH and I had a sort of picnic , from bits and bobs instead

Dinner here- pork steaks in BBQ sauce, baby potatoes, cauliflower and carrots.

I bought some last week in Waitrose.

Chicken and crispy chipotle stir fry with egg fried rice.

But I’ve just had that tooth extracted - sat here feeling numb, sore, achy and with a gap😮. So I won’t be eating much today. Nor be leaving the house until the gap is filled😄😄

Oh dear ☹ Hope you feel better soon.
Does it show when you smile?

😮😮yes! Which is why I’m not leaving the house

Since I have made a vast batch of my semi-veggie mince today (much of which will go into a mega shepherd's pie for DD’s family) a small part of it will later have a tin of kidney beans, tomato puree, chilli powder and paprika added.

We will have it in wraps, with grated cheese and salad.

For Thursday I have planned

Kipper - but it will probably be porridge as I forgot to take them out of the freezer.
Main meal mid-day as pacemaker clinic for DH late afternoon.
Cold roasted chicken, jersey royals snd salad.
Cheese on toast for later.

Although I have grotty toothache and eating is not easy atm. Hoping to get to see the dentist tomorrow (Thursday) as I am not sleeping very well.

Our evening meal with small Gchn this evening was a pic’n’mix.
A bread wrap each to fill with our own choice of lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, avocado and grated cheese. Gchn aged 2 and 4 really enjoy doing this - no left overs!

When I was young we had breakfast, dinner and tea, school dinners, Christmas dinner, and packed lunches for a trip. Now it's Christmas lunch and school lunches. Our Christmas dinner consists of several meats, four veg, mashed and roast potatoes, pigs in blankets, stuffing, gravy and pudding. That's a dinner.

I'm so sorry I seem to have added a post instead of starting one 🤦

Message withdrawn at poster's request.

Breakfast/lunch/dinner are how I describe three, not always square meals.

I eat breakfast late, so sometimes that runs into lunch for me, I haven't eaten it yet.

Two exclusions apply, when dinner was and is in the middle of the day at school, forever known as "school dinners" Christmas dinner - in our household around 3 pm.

Lunch can be something light, sandwich, soup, jacket potato, or, if out to lunch the most substantial meal of the day.

Tea is an afternoon affair, pot of tea, scones cakes etc.

Dinner in the evening, main meal of the day, if something more substantial hasn't been had at lunch time.

Some people refer to the evening meal as supper. Although, as others have stated, that could also be some morsel type of meal in the evening which tends to conjure up a Dickensian vision. for me, I don't know why.

I perceive many of the differences are regional.

I am surprised how many of you have puddings, for us it’s high days and holidays only.

I think I would be the size of a house if we started on the puddings.

We only rarely have them too. Usually when guests are with us. I do very occasionally make one just for us - a rice pudding if there’s milk to use up, or a dh favourite, a chocolate blancmange!

Ditto cakes! I only ever make one when guests are due, or for a family birthday.

Breakfast dinner and tea, no such thing as supper apart from maybe a drink and snack
Supper sounds very upper class I don’t think working class people have ‘supper’

Supper is what you call a savoury or full meal in the evening. Tea is/was a meal with jam and bread.

My grandparents, all working class, one set had breakfast lunch and dinner, the other set breakfast lunch and supper.

Tonight we are having scrambled eggs on toast for our evening meal.

Supper is what we decide to call it, same with tea. Not what you decide Monica.

Supper in our house used to be a cup of cocoa and two buttered cracker biscuits.
