In for the night......dinner or supper?

     When I was growing up noon was always dinner and evening supper. I still think that way and usually I get young people confused.

Noon is dinner
evening is supper.
Always confuses the younger generation.

lunch at noon, and supper in the evening, unless it is a special meal.... Holiday, or going out somewhere then the "main meal" is dinner, no matter the time of day.    There is no Thanksgiving lunch or supper, it's always Thanksgiving Dinner, no matter when we have it.   (same for Christmas, Easter, birthdays, etc).

Greg, I agree with you. On the farm we always had supper as the evening meal. If you were working close enough to the house you got to eat dinner, otherwise it was a sack lunch or what you could get at the mom & pop store. As a side note - Grandpa had a large bell mounted in the attic with a pull rope ran down into the dining room that Grandma used to call all the workers in from the field for dinner. But I digress.

Lunch is what you carry in a brown poke to eat fer dinner around noon, get supper just before bed. I got tired of eating peanut butter one time in school and stole a buddy's lunch because his poke was heavy. It had 3 walnuts and a hammer in it! You never know how good you got it sometimes.

That may be more information than I ever wanted to know. LOL

One of the better answers to this question I've heard came from the late Derry Brownfield.

As Per DB, if you are out in the field and head on in for the noon meal........if you stop at the house, you go inside for dinner. If you drive by the house and go into town for something, you are going to town for lunch.

Evening meal works the same way. Stay home for supper or go to town for dinner.


And while we are at it, what the heck is a supper club?

Just to be different, Lunch was at noon, home or at school, Supper was the evening meal and Dinner was what we had on Sunday or special occasions.

Exactly the same for me!

Grandma on dad’s side was different, she called everything lunch which my mom hated. If dad would say it she’d get so mad. Mom and grandma didn’t get along AT ALL.

the merriam-webster definition of dinner is: The principal meal of the day, or a formal feast of banquet.   Using this logic, dinner could be either lunch or supper, depending upon which meal is the largest/main meal of the day.    This would also explain why Thanksgiving and Christmas is always dinner not lunch or supper, no matter when you have it.

     25+ years ago my wife and I stayed at a small motel in the Michigan UP along the lake. Asked at the office about a place to eat supper and he sent us way out in the country to  The 9 Mile Supper Club  (could have been some other mile but it was that many miles from town). Looked like a regular older mom and pop restaurant to me. Appeared that everyone else in the  place knew each other and the food was good. Didn't see any restrictions like you had to be a member to get in.
