Tea, dinner, supper, evening meal. What do you call it?

Re Grandparents - my Mum's parents (who are Irish) were Nanan and GangGang. No idea why. My Dad's parents (English) were Nana Jean and Papa Eric.

Aaawww .. ☹️

The two people I know who use Mom rather than Mum are from the West Midlands, I always just thought it was a weird affectation! My parents asked their parents what they wanted to be called, grandparent-wise, when I was born, and they all wanted different names by fluke, so I had a Grandma & Grandad and a Nana & Grandpa.

Dinner to me is the evening meal, though I did go through a phase of calling it supper when I was at university and spending time with people who went to fancy boarding schools and spoke dead posh... I do sometimes call it tea though, especially if it's something simple like jacket potatoes.

H2B calls it tea more than dinner, and often uses dinner to mean lunch. Both sets of parents are northern, but my lot (from Manchester) say lunch and dinner and his lot (from Mansfield/Nottingham) say dinner and tea.

My grandad was grump - which is the biggest lie ever he was the most friendly jolly man you would want to meet for some reason my uncle started it and it stuck so when he passed we didn't have grump on his stone because that would be the wrong legacy.

my mum didn't like my dad's mum so refused to be mama as didn't want to be her lol so she was first ever to break the mama mould in our family lol

I'm East Midlands and don't really hear mom that often.

awe it'd be fascinating to get us all in one room with all these regional differences

Breakfast

Dinner

Tea

Supper (if you're feeling extra peckish before bed!)

SW -which counties were your grandparents from?

I'm from the West Midlands and I have a Mom, I have my tea in the evening, sometimes I have dinner time at noon, and I have Sunday Dinner whatever time it is on Sunday regardless of if its a roast or not. I eat rolls not baps/buns/barms.

Nan - Tipperary, Granddad - Dublin (I used the more grown up names when I grew up a bit - unless I was being a bit soppy with them!)

I'm from Derbyshire, family from Yorkshire and Staffordshire and it was breakfast, dinner and tea when I was growing up.

Now it is breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner - usually only 3 meals a day but if it is around 5-6pm evening meal I call it tea-time.

7pm onwards is dinnertime! :-)

I'm down south we have breakfast lunch and dinner. Tea is either a drink or a cake in the mid afternoon or a light meal like a sandwich.

My OH is Scottish and he always goes on about salt and sauce for his chips. It is (I think) a mixture between vinegar and salt to go on chips, only available in Edinburgh. But his whole family love it.

I have Grandma and Grandpa and did have Grandma and Gramp.

Dad wants to be Grumpy when grandchildren come along, but I can't see Mum liking that!
