Dinner was served by Dinner Ladies at midday at my school, and you wouldn't have argued with them.... Had they said it was lunch you would have called it lunch, If they had said it was breakfast, you would have called it breakfast. But they called it dinner! And nobody dared to correct them... I'm still scarred.
Dinner or Tea? [poll]

You have dinner at dinner time...around midday.
Tea time if taken during the day involves drinking tea. At around 5pm when you eat this is your tea.
I think if you have lunch at dinner time and dinner at tea time you might be living in the 1800's. Just wondering do those eating dinner at tea time dress for dinner in top hat and tails like on downtown abbey or whatever it's called?

Good point but I don't make the rules. I still get my dinner when I get home from work.
That would be a barm cake for the butty lol

When I was at Boarding schools it was Breakfast, Dinner, Tea and then Supper which was the main evening meal. Still the same in the Gulpits household but no Supper these days, amalgamation has taken place of Tea/Supper.
The wonderful country we live in, so diverse full of tradition and culture, barm cake tea cake butty or whatever long may it live, my late father in law never had a jam butty, but he had a lot of butty jam lol

you can vote for both at the same time !
it does seem a little pointless with only two choices, but if there had been 10 choices, being able to choose two or three relevant would make more sense.
Would you choose different options depending on the crowd you were keeping?

I would if it meant an extra meal to eat.
It would make sense to have the largest meal early on to work off that energy. Then a light meal in the evening since it's just sleeping that will be happening. A high percentage of Americans eat too much food too often and too late in the day. Maybe switching up would be beneficial.
I did get to experience eating the big meal in the afternoon because my grandparents were originally from Europe and moved to Canada so we'd celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving at 1pm in Windsor.

You'd think that but apparently your metabolism works fastest when you're sleeping...
This thread may have been posted before the forum switch as there is no option to choose how many votes members can make in this one which you do have in the new one.

Yes, I understand it is healthier to take exercise after the main meal of the day, so eating earlier is the way to do it. Unfortunately my lifestyle has never really allowed that, when we were working we both worked long hours not getting home till after 7, so the main meal (dinner) was always 8:30. Since retiring we have kept it the same, too busy during the day to cook big meals. I eat huge amounts of food followed by pudding and beer most nights (probably best part of 3000 calories in one go, just before bed - can't be good for me - LOL
@Hopperty
Yeah, everyone has different commitments that may dictate the "how" and "when." Lots of folks here in the US, for example, do not have easy access to transportation and thus access to proper food sources. It's a bad combination. Plus healthier food is significantly more expensive.
Your mention of calories reminded me of the swimmer, Michael Phelps, who took in over 10K calories a day while training. I also read an interesting bit about men who were cutting down trees for a living way back when. Their bosses could barely keep enough calories in these folks for the type of hard physical labor they were doing. I saw some images and they all looked underweight.
I don't count calories but keep a slight eye on carbs. I try (underlined, in bold, capped, italicized) to eat until I'm no longer hungry. Sometimes I fail and sometimes I succeed.
