To me calling the noon/midday meal as anything other than lunch sounds pretty pretentious.

I think this is where we differ. I associate tea with just an evening meal, regardless of the size, it's tea to me. Dinner is midday meal, again regardless of size.101Walterton wrote: ↑19 May 2019, 3:20pmYeah bit more complicated than that.BitterTom wrote: ↑19 May 2019, 12:12pmIt seems to change where you go in the UK.

Breakfast, lunch, tea or dinner depending on context. Supper is a late night snack.
Dinner is a more substantial cooked meal whereas tea could be a light meal served in the evening. That is why we had dinner at lunch time in school ( and Sunday dinners). The kids will ask what is for tea but you go out for dinner, same thing.

I guarantee you the neighbourhood I live in is rougher than yours. If you live in the Berkshire countryside you might be a bumpkin but I'm from the streets as you know.101Walterton wrote: ↑19 May 2019, 4:36pmSays the Berkshire bumpkinMarky Dread wrote: ↑19 May 2019, 4:35pmLunch is for ponces.

Re: What Are you Eating Right Now?
As an American I can tell you "Do you fancy a spot of tea good chap" sounds way more poncey than "hey let's have lunch".Marky Dread wrote: ↑19 May 2019, 4:35pmLunch is for ponces.

Re: What Are you Eating Right Now?
Only the highest class in Britain would say a spot of tea good chap, normal Brits just have tea as an evening meal.revbob wrote: ↑19 May 2019, 5:32pmAs an American I can tell you "Do you fancy a spot of tea good chap" sounds way more poncey than "hey let's have lunch".Marky Dread wrote: ↑19 May 2019, 4:35pmLunch is for ponces.

Re: What Are you Eating Right Now?
Thats as maybe mate if you think we are all like the stereotypes have you believe. I drink tea all the time but i've never used that term.

Looks delicious. I just had some cherry cheese danish. Which is not good for my diet, so now I feel awful. Good danish though.
