Challenge #32: Supper

[miss_s_b]

Supper is an oft-neglected meal, in my view. I think many people relegate it to Guilty Late Night Snacks. Lets celebrate the glory of a meal-before-bed!

Go to it, my fine challengees!

In my childhood (in Canada, mostly the western bit), "supper" meant the evening meal that was served at around 6pm, or 5.30pm if possible. I only know it means anything else because I've lived in London for 18 years.

Ha, yes, I grew up in a 'breakfast, lunch and supper' household. countertony uses 'supper' to mean 'a light snack before bed', though.

Yes, I know that use of it, but have on occasion been very confused.

I also know it as a meal that grown-ups have later in the evening, after the children have had their "tea" and gone to bed.

And in my favourite chippy in Aberdeen it appears to mean "with chips".

Thet’s quite common in parts of the UK. I don’t use it myself but would understand what someone meant by ‘a sausage supper’ etc and I’m from east anglia :)

Yeah, where I'm from we have breakfast, elevenses, dinner (lunch), tea (which weirdo southerners call dinner even though you have it at teatime QED), supper.

In our household, anything outside breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner is called snacking. Lol. But yes, i do a lot of snacking! Especially these Guilty Late Night Snacks. Challenge accepted and conquered.
