What do you call the third meal of the day?

Question

Down here we call it supper. The meal at noon is often called dinner.

Answer 1

I call it supper, but that is because I lived in the deep south for 30 years.

Answer 2

Dinner is the biggest meal of the day, regardless of when it is. Supper is the evening meal. Lunch is the meal during the middle of the day.

You can have dinner at lunchtime, for example Sunday dinner where you have lots of food and it's special. Or, on a holiday. However, if are eating at McDonald's or having leftovers, it's lunch.

Dinner can be in the evening if it's a big sit-down meal. But again, if you are just having a sandwich on your own, it's not dinner, it's supper.

I hope this is helpful.
