What do you call it? - Supper or Dinner?

CantWait wrote: We usually call it dinner or supper, so it really does depend. Although down east here, lunch is usually referred to as dinner, and the last meal of the day is supper.
I guess according to the bible, the correct term would be supper.

3xsthefun replied: Before, Rob and I were married I use to call it supper that is what my family called it. My grandma has always called lunch, dinner.

Now I call it dinner all the time, since that is what Rob called it.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Well in french lunch is "Diner" (pronounced Dee-Nay) and dinner is "Souper" (pronounces Soup-Ay)

but we call lunch "lunch" and dinner "dinner", usually.... but we use supper now and then too

coasterqueen replied: Lunch is lunch and dinner is dinner. To me dinner is more formal and since we do a lot of formal meals for work - it's dinner. I think I'd probably get fired if I used the term "supper". So at home it's obviously called dinner as well because it's a more sit-down, the whole family type of event so in a way it's more formal.

Ok, understand that rambling?

C&K*s Mommie replied: second meal of the day is lunch.
last meal is dinner.

I never thought of it that way, Marie. That is interesting.

KingMom replied: Lunch is Lunch and Dinner is Dinner here.

Though my DH's family is from the south (Georgia) and there Lunch is Dinner and Dinner is Supper.

We got all messed up when we there in January trying to schedule "meals" with each side of the family!

Boo&BugsMom replied: Yep, dinner. Which is odd because I was raised calling it supper.

Our Lil' Family replied: I was raised with lunch being dinner and last meal being supper. But we say lunch and dinner. It confuses the heck out of my grandmother though!
