2. I'm from the South...we eat both

Dinner is synonymous with lunch. Especially if you eat it at church, as in "all day singing and dinner on the grounds". :)

Supper is what you eat at night.

5. Well, Dinner = biggest meal of the day

and a lot of Southerns do eat the biggest meal in the afternoon, ergo it's "Dinner."

If you eat little something in the evening, it's supper.

I like eating this way. Helps me control my weight. :D

3. Myself, my family and /or friends eating "informally" ....

I light meal, a casual encounter, have supper. A formal meal or a restaurant meal with a server is dinner.

6. Both

If it's the largest meal of the day we call it dinner. Say we have a noontime Sunday Dinner the next meal (smaller) is called supper.

7. Interesting..

Never thought about this till now, but I eat dinner now. We called it supper when I was a child (if it matters, I'm from the north). I don't know when I started eating dinner. Now I wonder if I ever call it supper. I'll have to pay some attention.

8. I eat dinner but my husband eats supper and we eat at the same

time and place.... go figure. Furthermore our son is only 4months now but when he grows up I wonder if he is going to eat dinner or supper.

Actually my husband says dinner is what I call lunch. Go figure!
