What time.....

[The One Who]

For me dinner and tea are interchangeable. Lunch is just lunch.

[Jelly Fairy]

At home I tend to eat between 6.30 and 8pm. When I'm at work it's generally 5 - 5.30pm.

[[Frostbitten]]

Always 6pm, unless I have work.

[griddlebone]

I ate my DINNER at about 6.15 tonight and it felt very wrong!x

[akita]

In hospitals it's at 5pm, which is way too early in my opinion. We usually eat dinner between 6pm and 8pm.

If I was to say, then lunch is at 1pm or 2pm, dinner is between 6 and 7pm, but to be honest I am a bit of a mixed up eater. Depends on my mood what time I eat at.

Lunch = cold food (maybe some pasta, light stuff)
Dinner = hot food (had in the evening, the main meal)
Tea = cold food (had in the evening, like lunch but evening time)


So if I've had dinner at lunch time, I will have tea in the evening.
If I have lunch at lunch time, I will have dinner in the evening.

Make sense(ish?)

no...

lunch/dinner = mid day meal.
tea = evening meal.

down south people call tea dinner though.

FOOOOOLS.

[what_the?]

I'm from Yorkshire originally, but I've moved about all over and now I seem to call every meal apart from Breakfast dinner. As in I have my dinner at lunch/dinner time and my dinner at tea/dinner time. I confuse myself.

When I'm at home I have my tea(dinner) at about half 5/6, but when I'm at mine, it just depends what time I get in from uni/work/what time my gym classes are, so I ususally eat between about haf 7 and 9.

[Accidentally Abstract]

My mum makes my dinner & it's made for whenever Eastenders is on. ¬_¬

So Monday & Friday it's 8pm, Tuesday & Thursday it's 7.30pm (it's usually about 10 minutes late though :P).
Wednesday tends to end up being about 7.45-8pm because Eastenders isn't on, haha.

I'd eat at around 7-7.30pm if I had the choice I think.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TWO WORDS FOR LUNCH FOR?!

Tea is a drink not a meal.x

[crazykat]

I'm from Australia and usually have dinner between 6-8pm

[MrsNutkin]

I'm in the North and I say Dinner but I must be an anomaly really.

If I had a choice somewhere between 6pm and 7pm but sometimes it's much later because of how busy I am.

[griddlebone]

If I ate my dinner at 5 I would be hungry again by 8!x

[ferretmonster]

i'm from the south and i have TEA at around 6ish

[Bellatrix]

When I lived up north, it was around 5/6.
Now I eat at 8.

[offlineforever]

Any time between 3 and 10pm, depends on what is occuring in my life.

Wonder why that is....

[HopeRises]

If I am at work, I eat at around 6:30pm..If I'm at home, I have dinner around 8 or 9.

I live down south.

[Sheleznekoff]

I'm from Norfolk (brought up by my mum from Yorkshire) and I have dinner about 12 - 1 and tea 5.30 - 6.30. I had an argument with my friend from Essex about the names of the meals, I said I've always had dinner then tea, never lunch! She said you don't go out for and evening meal for 'tea' you go out for dinner! I guess she's right!

[Cacoethes]

whenever i'm hungry. im a rebel.
