My husband has always had the same mind set as your husband but he grew up on a farm and that's the way it's been out there for years. where did your husband grow up? I grew up in a small town and it's always been lunch than dinner.

Hello HarleysMom, You and your husband are both correct. You see, the terms lunch and dinner are equal in meaning but they are from different parts of our country. This is also tru of hush puppies. In the south this is what the name is for the fried dough with what ever is added to it. In the north and other regions the same type of food is called fritters. So, one must have understanding of these things when they are being spoken. Your husband is your darling dear and you know him, his heart, his mind and I dont see that there is a contest as to what is correct here,( I say this based on your question) So I hope I have helped you about this matter. I live with other people who use terms that are country and some who use terms that are city but I understand them and know where they are coming from so its not an issue. We laugh about it some times but never put each other down. It is late and I must go. Regards, Ammoconfidential

I personally say lunch at noon and dinner in the evening.
In Chicago it was - Noon = Lunch, Evening = Dinner
In Chattanooga it is - Noon = Dinner, Evening = Supper

It depends on the area of the country you live. In the southeast it is dinner at noon and then a light supper. If you think about it it is healthier to eat heavier early in the day.

It has to do with what part of the USA you grew up in.
In the south, Dinner = noon meal and Supper= evening meal.
Everywhere elase, Lunch= noon meal and Dinner = evening meal.
PS:Your DH is right! :D

Is your hubby from England, Australia or New Zealand? They call lunch dinner there for some weird reason. And what they call 'Tea' is a full meal, not sure why ;P

It's regional. You are not from the south and he is or your families are as such. You're both right.
And seriously, you'll need to work on understanding each other at a deeper level than this if you want to survive.
