Many in the midwest and south, particularly of the grandparent generation or older will refer to lunchtime as dinner. This comes from the time that the big meals were eaten in the middle of the day. Farmers and ranchers especially would eat their big meals in the middle of the day so that by suppertime, when they were exhausted, a bowl of bread and milk, or a soup and some bread would be plenty for an evening hankering. Besides, these same people often ate quite substantial breakfasts, not the Mt. Dew or Latte, with optional candy bar or donut. Dinner, over the past 30 yrs. has come to mean a more formal meal, often eaten out-of-home, whether it be a friend's home (ie.dinner party) or a fancy shmancy restaurant. <BR/><BR/>I rarely use the word "supper" anymore. Although, to qualify to eat an early bird steak at 4:30 p.m. I once used the word "lupper". But then I had to hear about it from the guy with the space pen that still writes upside down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-1152716308294608492006-07-12T09:58:00.000-05:002006-07-12T09:58:00.000-05:00Wow, you're a big Reds fan if you don't mind a 3-h...Wow, you're a big Reds fan if you don't mind a 3-hour drive.
