Lunch or Dinner Time

[Venod]

You know the old North/South divide about is it lunch or dinner, being of northern origin I have always said dinner time is the mid day meal, other people refer to dinner as a night time meal.

Well it seems the whole country refers to the Christmas mid day meal as Christmas dinner, I have not heard it called Christmas lunch by anyone.

I rest my case.

Dinner is eaten at night.

So have I, but seeing as I have always lived in London I call it dinner. Tea time is the late afternoon early evening meal.

Dinner is at dinner team. Tea is in the evening. Christmas lunch is just being silly

 

[Brandane]

Christmas dinner. Eaten at proper dinner time, i.e. 6pm....

I've always assumed that it's more to do with time of day, but your right I normally refer go it as dinner.

Wow, this could be worse than the saddle seat debate.

If you refer to it as Christmas Lunch, you have got to be from South of Sheffield.

In pubs or restaurants here they might have a lunch menu and a dinner menu.

What do the restaurants up north have? Dinner menu during the day and tea menu at night?

Obviously it will only contain chips, gravy and special brew but that’s another story.
