My PA family eats breakfast, dinner & supper. No LUNCH, seriously that is just wrong.

I dated a young woman whose Catholic, mid-western family had Sunday Dinner at 1:00 pm after church,

and had supper every day in the early evening.

I know quite a few people who say Supper, but we have always said Dinner.

Divine Geek · Guru

I've always said dinner. My grandparents said supper. And I know many people around here that say supper.

"Dinner" for me. The only times I can ever recall using "supper" is any occasion I've ever had to refer to Jesus' final meal with his Apostles: The Last Supper.

Thinking about it now, I find it strange that I don't find it odd for that to be my only usage.

Supper.

Dinner is a midday meal.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

But it is either or for us. We don't care.

Always said supper at home when growing up. (Dinner is at noon. LOL) After I got out into the wide, wide world, I started to call it dinner like most of the people around me.

Supper for casual - like if someone says 'lets go for supper' I know it will be a cheaper evening and I can dress down. If someone says 'lets go for dinner' I have to put a little more effort in and likely spend more money.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Dinner. Occasionally supper.

No wonder some of y'all get cranky...you never eat LUNCH.

Dinner & supper are pretty much interchangeable for me.

Are they from Central PA? We say dinner here around Philly but where DB and SIL are, it is supper.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

I grew up saying supper, but now I say dinner. I don't really know when it changed...

Thy are probably from eastern PA, with some Pennsylvania Dutch influences. I hear breakfast-dinner-supper plenty around here. Most from people with Pennsylvania Dutch/Mennonite heritage.

Right?

Breakfast, lunch, dinner as well.

In looking it up, most sources say supper is a casual light meal and dinner is a heavier more formal meal. Time of day only comes up in a few random sources and they say dinner is lunch and supper is the evening meal.

Dinner.

The TX part of my family calls it supper.

I don't care what it's called as long as there's a place at the table for me :P

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

The word supper is just one of those words that my ears don't like. You know how some people despise the word moist? That's how I feel about supper. It gives me the shivers.

Wrong thread.

Hmmm. I was going to respond supper. But I realized something. If we are eating at home, its supper. If we are dining out, its dinner. We never say what do you want for dinner, if we are home, yet we also never say do you want to go out for supper.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I guess we use them interchangeably, too.

"What's for supper?"

"I'm making dinner."

And then there's Sunday supper.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

We don't eat supper, we eat dinner at home and when we go out. Hurts my ears when Mom says supper. But that is her PA upbringing back in the 30's when supper was daily and usually what we would consider a noon time meal, dinner was when they went out to the Country Club or had a holiday dinner at home.

When I actually think about it, I use all of those phrases interchangeably. confuse

My sister is like that with the word tender, I always thought it was a weird quirk but I guess she's not alone :p there must be some kind of terminology for the fear of certain words

I have never heard Sunday Supper. Even the people who consistently call it supper, say Sunday Dinner when referring to a big meal with family on Sunday (usually after church)
