...what is it's official title?
Lucan, who considers himself an educated man wrongly refers to it as "dinner" whilst the sane members of our whatsapp group call it by it's correct title of "tea".
Settle an argument here, fellow blues. |  |

Shoulda foreseen that one coming, knowing what filthy minds some people on here have, doh! 😂
Anyway, food + love + music have been inextricably linked since the dawn of time, everyone knows that :) |
There’s still no legitimate place for onesies though. Ever. |  |

The key word there is 'considers'.
What you call it depends on when you eat it, and where in the country you're from.
Friends of ours from the Black Country talk about a 'cooked dinner' when they mean a Sunday roast meal.
Presumably they eat salad six days a week. |  |

Maybe this is a generational divide. Growing up in 70’s Essex suburbia :
Breakfast (cereal with an inch crust of sugar sprinkled on)
Dinner (chips + something, followed by ‘afters’ of custard + something)
Tea (sandwiches/crumpets/cake)
Supper (digestive with dangerous levels of ‘Marge’)
Fast forward to ‘21 & I’ve sleepwalked into a metrosexual :
Breakfast (banana/latte)
Lunch (Pret sandwich)
Dinner (something poncey &/or European)

Posh for Derby surely? Fishers is like Lord of Derbyshire isn’t he? |
Did anyone else have “4 o’clockses” after school as a kid? Or is that a Cotty family jape? |  | | |

Tea.
Even its time varies between 4.30 and 9.00pm. |  | | |

Genuinely not def info. There are more than 3 meal times in a day...
Breakfast up to 10am from whenever you get up
Brunch 10-12
Lunch 12-3
Afternoon tea 3-6
Dinner 6-9
Supper 9-12
Midnight feast 12-1
Anything after this is night shift territory and they can call it what they want.
My theory is that "teatime" came about as kids will have a meal after school, thus at "(afternoon) tea time" and carried that into adulthood, whereas those who don't get home til after 6pm recognise it as dinner.
Completely unscientific theory |
Isn't brunch just a disorganised person's Elevenses? |  |

No. Brunch is more substantial, as it is effectively replacing two meals in one. Elevenses (often consumed by those who have already had breakfast, and also plan to have lunch) is a mere snack, to accompany a cup of tea/coffee - such as a biscuit, shortcake, an apple, banana or whatever your go to snack is. It is not a meal in itself. | |

No puns from Hoppy on this one.
I think we can all now appreciate how important elevenses are. |  | | |

Without doubt the correct answer is Tea. |  | | |

Oh dear, good effort. For the first 6 words you’d got everything right, only to stumble on the last word. I’m gutted for you. | |

Had my breakfast in Ipswich at 3:30 this morning before going to Felixstowe. Am now in Reading having sevenses. Am hoping to be in Felixstowe for lunch, about 11:30. Then off to King's Lynn where I'll probably have dinner at about 4pm. The answer to the OP is 'supper'. |  |

All I'll say is - at my school we had Dinner Ladies - not Lunch Ladies. Probably called Midday Meal Facilitators nowadays...... |  |

We have breakfast dinner and tea.
I once invited my friends over for dinner and had to phone them at 13.30 to ask where they were. They were at home eating lunch before coming to ours for dinner. I had cooked dinner for dinner time not for tea time. It was a very confusing day | | | |

If the sequence is "breakfast, dinner, tea" why isn't brunch known as "brenner"?
Or is that a little woolly? |  |

Because the sequence isn't "breakfast, dinner, tea".
Glad to have helped. | |

We often had a packet of crisps and a penguin around that time of day, but we never got around to giving that meal an official title. I'm thinking pre dinner snack or 4 o'clockses should cover it |  | | |

Dinner if it’s a cooked meal, tea if it’s not. Simples. |  | | |

You're reaching a bit here, but I respect that level of commitment to the pun. |  |
