Is “supper” your evening meal?
Yup. Which I think is an English cultural linguistic influence.
Supper in England is a late night snack after evening meal.
Huh. I thought it was an informal or regular evening meal there, whereas dinner was something more formal.

We're a bit more literal here and reserve that word for the drink.

When I was a kid dinner was your midday meal that only changed to lunch when I became an adult. Probably because we had cooked school dinners, dinner money, dinner time.

When I was a kid, the noon meal was dinner, but few people say anything but lunch now.

Supper (late night snack)

I still say dinner for my midday meal because I'm not a southern softie. If I asked my mates if they wanted to meet for lunch they would probably laugh in my face.

The meal taken between about 5 and 6pm is tea, never dinner, even when formal.

Supper is eaten after about 9pm and is usually eaten after a good drink. Eg. Fish Supper

Breakfast is still called Old Crompton's Nibbly Nosh.

It’s also good to omit the potato so you can store it and serve it over rice later.
Recipe looks good. I couldnt give actual amounts of stuff though other than the full bottle of stout/porter that I put in it.

I came home from work today looking forward to a big bowl of stew and it was nearly gone. Fuck!! Id only had one small bowl the first night.
