Interesting that you have "supper". Do they have a "dinner" in either Serbian or Russian?

I think I can remember saying to my mother more than once "I'm real hungry because I threw my lunch away at dinner time" when she packed me a school lunch that I didn't like. So for us "lunch" was more of a thing that an event.

cheers

>>9am - breakfast
>>2pm - dinner
>>5:30pm - light meal (don't have a word in English?)
>>8pm - supper

>vechera (s) - uzhin (r) - supper. We have double ties here - "vecher" means "evening" in Russian, and "uzhina" means "snack" in Serbian :)

>(correct me if I got some Russian wrong - I tried to refresh it lately, but mathematical texts don't mention meals :)
