Let’s Settle This... Once and Forever!

Again? You didn't learn the first time?

 

Late to the party but anyone calling lunch ‘dinner’ is just plain wrong.

Even if your family insisted on calling it dinner, the propah pronunciation is dinnah.

But even then you’d be wrong.

 

Growing up in the rural south it was breakfast, dinner, supper.
Now it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner ...where did supper go.. I blame it on the invasion of the ignorant yankee hordes... especially the ones from New England lol..
Evolution of mealtimes:

Link above is rather snobbish. I suspect a New Englander wrote it.
I like this one better, in fact it appears to have factual references to the origins:

The old time farmers around here (Mo.) were eating 4-5 meals every day. I experienced this when I was 4-9 yo, visiting my aunt and uncles farm back in the early 50's. Granted the mid morning and mid afternoon "meals" were really extra big snacks , but they WERE served every working day (Mon. thru Sat.). Damn that was fine eating - plus my first experience of hearing rain on a tin roof!

 

When I was pile driving one of the bosses always said super for lunch, I thought he was kidding at first.

 

Just got done with lunch, now I’m aiming at dinner.

Not my last supper
