Same here. When I was young pretty much everyone had dinner/supper - dinner being the big meal; supper something lighter (but sometimes lot's of it :-)). We also managed to squeeze in breakfast, 'bait' (elevenses but at 10) and tea

Now most people speak of lunch/dinner but on most farms the midday meal is still the big one....


>My relatives, who run a farm/ranch call the mid-day meal "dinner" because they take a break from work...eat a hot cooked meal at the house...and possibly even take a quick nap...before working all the way until sundown in the long days of summer.

>>Curious:
>>Do you mean that dinner/supper is more common than lunch/dinner in rural areas ?

>>>You must get around more than me because I haven't heard either of those. One thing I have noticed is that dinner vs. supper is more of a rural thing than a northern vs. southern thing.
