Do you say dinner or supper? I live in the Pacific Northwest and never hear the term supper.
-
When I hear supper I think of Little House on the Prairie!
-
I say dinner but my dad and Grams always said supper.
-
I say dinner but DH calls lunch dinner and dinner supper. If that makes sense.
-
I find that "supper" is used by a lot of older people from New England. It's probably both generational and regional.
-
I use both, they both mean dinner to me.
DH's grandparents say dinner = lunch, supper =dinner
-
I'm from the South so my fam always says supper. I intentionally avoid it b/c it sounds sooo country to me!
-
I've always said dinner, but I've heard both terms to and to me they both refer to the evening meal.
-
Dinner.
-
I would usually say dinner, but my mom insists that supper refers to the biggest meal of the day. So if you have a giant midday meal (like you might do on a holiday) then that meal is referred to as supper, whether it's at 12pm or 5pm.
-
Dinner...I've never heard anyone call it supper in real life.
-
Supper sounds so stuffy to me, we say dinner!
-
Dinner (though my parents call it Tea). I think of Supper as that snack you have to have before bed.
-
I've always used Dinner.
My in-laws call lunch "Dinner" and dinner is "Supper"
-
@MrsCB: I've heard it the other way around!!! Supper is always the evening meal and dinner is the largest meal of the day!
I say both dinner and supper!
-
I say dinner, DH uses both, but mostly only uses supper when speaking to the dog
-
DH's aunt says supper.
lol.
I say dinner. -
@MungBean: I was going to ask the same thing after seeing @naturallycathy's post!!
I say dinner.
My Grandmother used to call it Supper. There was breakfast, dinner and supper in her house. Dinner was lunch!
-
Really? I'm the only supper sayer? I grew up with dinner meaning lunch, so a dinner invitation bred confusion. No one is confused by supper!
It's interesting that it apparently has the connotations of both stuffy and country, PPs! I would have thought those at odds with one another.
-
@Adira: LOL, maybe I have it backwards.
-
@MrsCB: Maybe I have it backwards!!! We need someone else to weigh in with the truth!
-
I say dinner. Although breakfast, dinner, supper is what most of my family says.
