Three Square Meals A Day....But WTH Are They Called?

[CornMaster]

We all know there are usually three meals a day. But what do you call them?

Set 1:
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner

Set 2:
Breakfast
Dinner
Supper

Or do you call them something different???

BTW.....I prefer Set 2.

I call them Lunch, Dinner and Midnight meal.

My sleeping patterns mean I normally get up at lunch and go to bed around 2am.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I have 7 square meals a day.

breakfast
morning snack
lunch
tea
dinner
supper
late supper

 

[Ohwell]

I like set 2 better, it is more, glorifying...

But here is how mine goes:

Breakfast I am quite overweight...
snack
lunch
snack
dinner
supper
snack

 

[Becka]

I call it-

Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner

Although the term 'supper' and 'dinner' can be interchanged and still mean the same thing in my house. Especially by my dad who's from the north.

I don't include snacks because there are too many to be documented. I made a list of everything I ate yesterday and I didn't realize exactly how much I ate in a day.

dinner refers to main or most formal meal of the day, which may be either lunch or supper.

Same here.

Just like to point out that in my part of the world Dinner and Supper are not interchageable. Supper is the meal (with a quantity food close to lunch) reserved for people who engage in an active nightlife. In western terms its akin to grabbing a burger on your way home from a Rave party.

My eating day is simply a continuous 'Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm' Spiced up with the occasional 'oohhhhhhhhhhhhh' and once in a while some 'bllllleeaccchhhhh!' just to keep me on my toes

But as for my neighbours, it goes Breakfast, Lunch, Tea(usually), Dinner/Supper.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Supper would mean the same as dinner if it were ever used, but it rarely is.

The Hobbit order was something like this: Breakfast, 2nd Breakfast, Elevensese, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, Dinner, Supper.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

I only have 2 real meals per day - lunch and dinner; no snacks or anything else - and I'm still growing - sideways. Something must be wrong somewhere.....

 

[ComradeDavo]

1.Breakfast
2.Lunch
3.Tea

but most often I just resort to 'food'

 

[CurtSibling]

Wow!

I had no idea there were meal-obsessed hobbits on the forums!

 

[scorch]

Breakfast, lunch, tea/supper/dinner

Now that's what I call civilized!

And yes, there are hobbits on my father's side!
