Dinner or Supper

[Icy Gull]

I need an argument settling and NSC WILL have the correct answer somewhere amongst the wrong ones

What is the meal that you eat in the evening? I'm not talking about the slap up candelabra out meals that you may have friends around for but your bog standard after work evening meal?

Is it dinner or supper

The correct sequence is, I believe:

Breakfast
Elevenses
Lunch
Tea
Dinner
Supper

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Tea.

Supper.

Supper is the name for the evening meal in some dialects of English - ordinarily the last meal of the day, usually the meal that comes after dinner.

The term is derived from the French souper, which is still used for this meal in Quebec French and sometimes in Belgian French. It is related to soup. It is also related to the German word for soup, Suppe

Dinner is the largest meal of the day....
