Supper?

Is supper not the meal just before bed?

Breakfast at waking time.

Lunch at around noon-2pm

Dinner from about 5 to 7.

Supper a light pre-bed snack.

I hate culchies who say "dinner" time when they mean Lunch time.

It is a culchie thing.

Personally I'd say evening after 3pm.

Dinner can be the main meal of the day. Check out the wikipedia definition of the UK's dinner. School "dinners" for example.

Tea is a meal.

Dinner is at about 1 O'clock.

Your location says Galway.

Are you a Dub living in Galway?

If not, the proper and correct definition of culchie is "someone not from Dublin" - now, some town-dwelling culchies think the term doesn't refer to them, but it does.

No, you are a Londoner.

A culchie is a born and bred non-Dublin Irish person.

Unless you sound like a culchie. Then you are one.

Wertz

This would be my take on it: 12pm-4pm Afternoon, 4pm-8pm Evening, 8pm-12am Late Evening/Night, 12am-4am Late Night, 4am-8am Early Morning, 8am-12pm Mid Morning

6pm, when the first bell of the Angelus chimes. Duh.. :rolleyes:

You're a culchie if you like:

This, this and this.

Morning: 6AM - 12PM
Afternoon 12PM - 6PM

Evening is the period in which the daylight is decreasing, between the late afternoon and night, around the time when dinner is taken. Though the term is subjective, evening is typically understood to begin just before twilight, sunset, during the close of the standard business day, 6 pm – and extend until night – typically astronomical sunset, 10 pm.

Because culchies call every damn crisp Taytos.

"Can I have a package of King Taytos please".

Lunch is the meal had sometime between noon and two or three pm.

That is not dinner. It is Lunch.

You culchies can't change that.

Culchies ftw, and it's not even close!!

Afternoon ends around 5ish, bit earlier in the winter, bit later in the summer.

That's the UK. Does not apply. Over here we call it school lunch not school dinner.
I'd be interested to hear from some of the grazers in the fitness forum who have six+ meals a day. What do they call their meals?

Depends on what you eat really.

If you had a 3 course meal between 1-2 would you still call it lunch?

If you then had a snack at 6 would you call that dinner or would you eat another dinner just so you could call it dinner?

I agree. The time at which you start calling it evening depends on the daylight. Well for me anyway. So in the likes of winter I might start saying "evening" at around 4, but in the summer I mightn't say it until 6 or 7.

And yeah, I also hate cultchies who call the meal at lunchtime "dinner"

It's not just culchies that say tea for a meal that doesn't consist solely of the beverage variety cultivated in parts of Asia though. Brits and and those that are colonies of the Brits say it too. They also have morning tea and smoko. So in reality, culchies who call dinner tea are actually just an echo from the pasts occupation. Bloody wester than west brits :mad:

Evening for me is after the angelus.
