What do you call your evening meal?
Are you a northerner or a southerner?


Tea
Northerner

DEBATE AWAYYYYYYY......

[nickss]

Dinner, Southerner

Tea is for when you drink tea

[sliceofcake]

I say tea usually (northerner) though I say dinner too. Which means sometimes my meals go: Breakfast, Dinner, Dinner
My best friend is a southerner and she was talking about having some tea once and I had to ask her if she meant "drinking tea" or "eating tea".

I don't call anything dinner....it's breakfast, lunch and tea for me!

[Acy]

I call it dinner but my mother says tea

[tory88]

I'd say it was as much a class thing as a north-south thing. I'm a southerner and say dinner, but most of my family, all of whom grew up in London, say tea.

[Jaydiee]

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
No surprise I am a Southerner.

[britash]

Tea (northern!!)

[Jake22]

Dinner for my midday meal and Tea for my evening meal.

I rarely refer to the drink as tea anyway - normally just say "fancy a brew", "nip round for a brew" etc. rather than say tea

breakfast dinner tea supper

[TheWorldEndsWithMe]

Depends on who I'm speaking to, but usually dinner for the late meal. I never understood calling lunch dinner. :/

[harh]

Here the evening meal is mostly tea if it's informal, and dinner if it's a bit more fancy

[sammylou1987]

I used to say say "tea" but after moving south for several years and causing utter confusion with my housemates, friends etc. I was converted to the term of breakfast, lunch and dinner and it's stuck.

The first time I had heard of tea as in the meal was at school. I'm from the midlands.

[WildBerrySpirit]

Dinner.

Midlander.

[animalnitrate]

"Dinner" if it's something cooked but "tea" if it's not

So, yeah, a mix of the two, which makes sense seeing as I come from the Midlands

The way I view it, dinner is the main evening meal and tea is a small snack shortly afterwards.
