We're a bit more literal here and reserve that word for the drink.101Walterton wrote: ↑05 Jan 2018, 5:34pmThat’s tea.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Jan 2018, 5:21pmHuh.

Re: What Are you Eating Right Now?
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.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Jan 2018, 5:35pmWe're a bit more literal here and reserve that word for the drink.101Walterton wrote: ↑05 Jan 2018, 5:34pmThat’s tea.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Jan 2018, 5:21pmHuh.

By the way I fully expect Heston to turn up with a whole new northern vocabulary.

Tea / dinner (same thing but in informal chat ‘what’s for tea’ ‘we are going out for dinner’
Supper (late night snack)

Re: What Are you Eating Right Now?
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.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: What Are you Eating Right Now?
Recipe looks good. I couldnt give actual amounts of stuff though other than the full bottle of stout/porter that I put in it.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑05 Jan 2018, 1:02amIt’s also good to omit the potato so you can store it and serve it over rice later.
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.
