4. Lunch in the middle of a weekday

Most of the time the evening meal was "supper". But special occasion meals were "dinner" whether eaten in the middle of the day or in the evening - Sunday dinner, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter dinner, etc.

12. I had to think about it but yeah, all that

We always go to lunch and I always call my wife and ask her what's for supper. Fancy dinner is fancy and can be any time as long is it's not breakfast.


However, sometimes my wife answers "TV Dinners". :/ I bet I'd at least try a frozen food that called itself TV Supper.

17. They called them "TV Dinners" to make them sound fancy

And more "special" than a home made "supper". I'm talking about the old ones on aluminum trays with plastic peas and library paste potatoes. The new ones are not bad at all.

15. Lunch in the middle of the day

The only exception being Christmas Dinner (though in my family that ends up being at about 5pm, so not exactly middle of the day).

Evening meal is supper, unless it's a formal thing when it's dinner.

16. Lunch and dinner for me.

Every time I hear the word "supper" it makes me think of a bunch of frontiersmen sitting around Conestoga wagons eating beans out of a tin plate.
